A fascinating interview with Keith Sisson from Mokulele Airlines.  Mokulele airlines was founded in 1994 by Rebecca “Kawehi” Inaba as Mokulele Flight Service. Her love of aviation must have been in the blood as her father was a pilot for Aloha Airlines. She partnered with Jules Dudoit who arranged for a certificate allowing the airline to provide circle-island and air tours that shared the beauty of Hawaii National Park and Maui with passengers.
After six ownership changes over the last 25 years, Southern Airways Express, a commuter airline based in Florida purchased the assets of Mokulele Airlines in February of 2019. Combined, Southern Airways and Mokulele make up one of the largest and fastest-growing airlines in America.
Mokulele Airlines has historically been voted as "Hawai'i's #1 Island Hopper" or Commuter Airline by the local news media, along with awards for the "Best Air Tour". In 2019, Trip Advisor ranked Mokulele Airlines as the Best Specialty/Leisure Airline in North America.
