booked on the caravan service will be fully honored.
“This sale was a part of our strategic plan to concentrate
on our inter-island jet service,” said Chairman and CEO,
Jonathan Ornstein. “We believe this sale will allow us to
focus on growing and expanding our low cost jet service to the
people of Hawaii, particularly our loyal o’hana, and
importantly, the alliance with Transpac Aviation will ensure that
the smaller cities of Hawaii will still have critical air service
and will provide a tremendous platform for the future growth of the
go! and Mokulele brand. We are also happy to announce that current
Mokulele employees will remain with the Mokulele Flight Services to
ensure a seamless transition for our valued customers.”
Transpac Aviation CEO Ron Hansen said Hawaii has always been a
special destination to him both as an airline pilot and as former
CEO of several world wide air charter companies. "It is very
exciting to return and have the opportunity to serve the people of
Hawaii by offering quality, low cost inter-island transportation,"
he said. "This partnership announced is an exciting and positive
step for go!Mokulele and its passengers. We look forward to working
with our new partners at Mesa and are confident that Mokulele
Flight Services will continue to meet and exceed our
