Mokulele Airlines has grounded a portion of its fleet to inspect and address findings of a routine maintenance check.

Due to the grounding, the airline operated at half capacity.

In a letter provided to customers, the airline 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.”

The airline is also working with customers to cover expenses relating to the impacts of this partial grounding as it takes steps to restore normal operations, which are expected by Wednesday, August 21.

Affected travelers can communicate with the airline through its 24/7 customer service at 808-495-4188.
