About
Hawaii Island Air, also known as Island Air, was a commuter airline based in Hawai and more specifically in Honolulu. Hawaii Island Air was Hawaii’s second oldest carrier with routes to six of Hawaii’s major airports, with direct and nonstop services between five islands in Hawaii. In-Flight Services included refreshments and Kikaha magazine.
The airline operated scheduled inter-island passenger services in Hawaii. Its main base was at Honolulu International Airport on Oahu, with a hub at Kahului Airport on Maui. Island Air flew to many destinations including Lanai, Maui and Oahu and operates a codeshare and frequent flyer agreement with United Airlines. Island Air also had an interline agreement with American Airlines. Aloha Airlines was formerly an airline partner until it discontinued passenger operations.

Hawaiian Airlines halted its commercial relationship with Island Air in 2012 when it announced plans to begin operating ATR-42s in the islands under its own brand. Island Air also operated its own frequent flyer program, Island Miles (formerly Cloud 9).
On April 14, 2016, Island Air announced its plans to restart service between Honolulu and Kona starting June 14 with five daily round-trip flights. The last time Island Air served Kona was in December 2012. This service restoration is estimated to create 25 new airport-related jobs.
