Mokulele Airlines currently serves as the only air carrier for Moloka'i, and the primary airline used by residents of Lāna'i.

You can now make reservations for the newest available interisland flight connecting Hawaiʻi Island and Maui. Mokulele Airlines plans to start the flights linking Kona and Kahului on Oct. 1.

The airline had suspended the route three years ago this month, but is resuming service with a morning flight and an evening flight in each direction.

Hawaiian Airlines flies the same route two or three times a day, and Southwest offers the same service once a day Monday through Friday.

However, Southwest plans to discontinue its service next spring.
