AI Summary

  • Department of Transportation is requested to study the feasibility of bringing additional airlines to Molokai Airport, where only one passenger airline has provided service since January 2021.

  • Current airline service has resulted in prohibitively high ticket prices and limited flight schedules, impacting Molokai residents' ability to travel for work, medical appointments, and family needs.

  • Frequent flight delays and cancellations have created additional burdens on residents and pose potential health and safety risks for rural communities lacking dependable access to major hubs such as Honolulu.

  • Department of Transportation must submit findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2025 Regular Session convenes.

  • A certified copy of the resolution shall be transmitted to the Director of Transportation.
