Market narrative

Hawaii's unique geography creates a specialized charter aviation environment focused on inter-island transportation and scenic tour operations. Honolulu International Airport (HNL) serves as the primary hub, while Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui, Kona International Airport (KOA) on the Big Island, and Lihue Airport (LIH) on Kauai handle significant charter traffic.

Inter-island charter operations fill a crucial gap in commercial airline schedules, providing flexible transportation between the islands for both residents and tourists. Many operators specialize in scenic tours, offering helicopter and fixed-wing flights over volcanoes, waterfalls, and remote coastlines. The state's isolation from the mainland creates unique operational considerations, including extended overwater flying requirements, specialized maintenance capabilities, and the need to import parts and supplies.

Key facts

Inter-island charter operations provide essential transportation links between islands
Scenic tour operations form a major segment of the charter market
Extended overwater flying requires specialized equipment and training
