Island Air

Island Air (www.islandair.com) was formerly owned by Aloha Air Group, parent company of Aloha Airlines. In December 2003 an agreement was signed between the two carriers making Island Air Hawaiis third independent airline. As a result, Aloha Island Air is now Hawaii Island Air, Inc. doing business as Island Air.

Today Island Air offers United customers connecting codeshare service between Honolulu (HNL) and Kapalua West Maui (JHM), Molokai (MKK), and Lanai City (LCY). All inter-island flights depart from the Inter-Island Terminal at the Honolulu International Airport. The Wiki-Wiki bus provides easy transportation between United and Island Air flights.

In addition, connecting service from Maui (OGG) and Molokai (MKK) is available.
