Hawaii's Mokulele Airlines grounds some aircraft over landing gear issues

The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) has been informed that Mokulele Airlines grounded a portion of its fleet from 17th August to 20th August 2024, so it can inspect and address the findings found on a routine maintenance check.

Mokulele Airlines operates at the following state airports: Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), Kahului Airport (OGG), Kapalua Airport (LUP), Hāna Airport (HNM), Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keāhole (KOA), Waimea-Kohala Airport (MUF), Molokaʻi Airport (MKK), Kalaupapa Airport (JHM) and Lānaʻi Airport (LNY).

Mokulele will be operating limited flights between OGG, MKK, HNL, and LNY as well as using other airlines to reduce disruption to its passengers.  The carrier said "To briefly explain the cause of the current disruption, during our routine maintenance procedures, we identified potential discrepancies in the documentation of a recent landing gear servicing on one of our aircraft. As a precautionary step to uphold our rigorous safety standards, we've decided to temporarily ground affected aircraft in Hawaii while we conduct thorough inspections"

Effected passengers would be accommodated on other flights, or flights with other airlines, the carrier also advised that if passengers choose not to travel or the airline is unable to successfully re-accommodate them,  Mokulele will be given a credit for the ticket they have, plus a voucher for round trip travel in the future.

 Restoration of normal operations is expected by Wednesday, 21 August 2024.
