HI SB2960

Prohibits the Department of Transportation from assessing landing fees on air carriers providing interisland service, except flights between the most populous island and other islands in the State.

Waiver of landing fees applies specifically to flights landing at Molokai Airport, Lanai Airport, Kapalua-West Maui Airport, Hana Airport, Kalaupapa Airport, and Waimea-Kohala Airport.

Measure will not take effect until the State receives written notification from the Federal Aviation Administration confirming it does not conflict with the State's ability to receive federal funds.

Amendments were made in response to FAA concerns that previous versions violated the State's grant assurances.
