According to Mokulele, "Kalaeloa, will provide hassle free commuting between O'ahu and the rest of the Hawaiian Islands. This includes: avoiding heavy traffic on the H1, no TSA screening and free parking with a valid permit. Kalaeloa will also provide an easier access to the Aulani Disney Resort & Spa on the southwestern coast of O'ahu."

The airline is also reminding its customers that they are not part of Go! Airlines, a company that stopped operating on April 1st. TransPac Aviation, Mokulele's parent company purchased the turbo prop division of Mesa Air Group, the operator of Go! Airlines.
