RE: S.C.R. No. 165
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred
S.C.R. No. 165 entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION TO CONDUCT A STUDY ON THE FEASIBILITY OF
BRINGING OTHER AIRLINES TO THE MOLOKAI AIRPORT,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Transportation to conduct a study on the feasibility of bringing
other airlines to serve the Molokai Airport.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from three individuals.
Your Committee finds that as of January 2021, only one
passenger airline has provided service to the general public out
of Molokai Airport. Your Committee further finds that despite the
best efforts of this airline, significant flight delays and
cancellations, in addition to costly ticket prices and limited
flights, have caused an undue burden on Molokai residents. Your
Committee believes that exploring the feasibility of bringing
other airlines to serve the Molokai Airport is in the best
interest of the health and safety of Molokai’s residents.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
2024—2845 SCR165 HSCR HMSO
