Order 98-1-11

Kamuela, Hawaii (Essential Air Service)

Order 98-1-11 | OST-97-2833 | Issued January 14, 1998 | Served January 21, 1998

Order Selecting Carrier

Before TransAir discontinued its passenger service, the civic officials of Kamuela and the State of Hawaii supported the reselection of TransAir- At that time, community and state officials said they preferred TransAir because it proposed nonstop service to Honolulu, its proposed fares were lower, it had, provided continuous and reliable air service, it provided mail and cargo service, and it was a locally based carrier. Several individual passengers, however, came forward at that time to complain of being stranded by TransAir. Since the hiatus in service, the local chamber of commerce has endorsed the selection of Pacific Wings' Option 1, and Kamuela's local representative changed his position to support the immnediate selection of Pacific Wings.
