### Dear Department ofTransportation,
We were dismayed when Pacific Wings stopped flying to our airport. Having passenger service in Waimea saves driving time and traffic congestion. I support Mokulele Airlines' 4 year bid to link Honolulu and Waimea. Mokulele is the best candidate as they support lower fares, frequent flight, and ease of booking. The population in this region has been growing and we deserve safe, stable and affordable service to Waimea/Kohala Airport. Please select Mokulele Airlines to serve Waimea/Kohala for 4 years.
Aloha and mahalo, Elaine Warner POBox 1185, Kamuela HI 96743

.. ... but keeping their fares LOW is very important (especially for us local infrequent flyer seniors
...... as Mokulele Airlines will have no competition and it probably would be easy for them to increase fares anytime they wanted to
... so please include some stipulation to that affect in any contract them.

Those of us living in Waimea love ourtown and are willing to live here in spite ofthe great inconvenience ofairtravel. When we moved here in 1978, we had air service and enjoyed using it. Most of us in the Waimea area were shocked when we learned that our air service was ending. My husband and I, and everyone we know, are eagerfor Mokulele Airlines to come to our airport. Driving to Kana or to Hila adds a greatdeal oftime, energy, and money to our air travel, whether for fun orfor medical or other necessary reasons. I hope that this service can become a reality.

### June 20, 2013 Dear Department of Transportation, I currently have to drive one hour to Hilo or two hours to Kona just to catch a plane. That is a long distance for a senior citizen with poor eyesight. It is also a financial hardship when paying for extra gasoline. Waimea is much closer to me than the other two choices.

Dear DOT, WE supportthe effort of Mokulele to provide the service tothe Waimea Airport. We have used the Waimea Airport since 1960. More recently, the direct Princeville service to Honolulu was great and we also need good flights to and from Maui. Mokulele was started by agreatyoung lady whose Dad was a pilot and she did hertime as owner. We need good service.
