Mokulele to start Honolulu-Hilo service (original) (raw)

Mokulele Airlines announced it is adding interisland service between Honolulu and Hilo.

The new service, aboard 70-seat Embraer 170 jets, begins May 1.

Kona-based Mokulele now is accepting online reservations for the new route and is offering an introductory fare of $35 through May 31.

The four daily flights will be operated by Republic Airways subsidiary Shuttle America.

Last week, Mokulele announced Republic Airways took a 50 percent ownership stake in the company and named Republic executive Scott Durgin as its interim CEO.
