HI HCR154

Urges all air carriers operating interisland routes in Hawaii to waive baggage fees for a passenger's first checked bag on flights between islands.

Cites rising airfares and combined security fees and baggage charges as factors making interisland travel prohibitively expensive for residents and visitors.

Notes that flying is the only practical transportation method for passengers to travel among islands for family visits, business, education, and recreation.

Directs the Director of Transportation to distribute certified copies of the resolution to all air carriers flying interisland routes in Hawaii.
