Proposed Flights From Rockford, Illinois to Honolulu, Hawaii CANCELLED for Now

Chicago Rockford International Airport ran out of time to market the routes, so passenger flights from Rockford to Hawaii and England won’t happen this spring.

An airport official says they are still committed to landing regular overseas air service, but there is no deal in place. So the routes may not materialize at all.

Charter World Solutions, the charter airline operator that proposed flying the routes, says it is now shooting for October to start the service, which airport officials were ready to back with $1.4 million in revenue guarantees and $300,000 in marketing support…

Flights From Illinois to Hawaii Via Mokulele Airlines a Possibility

I just noticed the following bit of news which could provide a nice little bit of tourism to Hawaii:

You’ll soon be able to fly directly to the sunny islands of Hawaii, or historic London, England.

No word yet on when you can book your tickets.  The move makes Rockford the only airport in the midwest with direct flights to both locations

“It’s really a move by the board to engage our strategic plan to expand passenger service” says Zach Sundquist, Manager of Air Service Development.  It also “utilizes the facilities we have in place.”

Mokulele Airlines, which runs the flights to Hawaii, still needs the plan to be approved by the FAA
