PROPOSAL FOR INTER-ISLAND AND TRANS-OCEAN FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION This proposal would tie together all of the different operations--including inter-island and trans-ocean cargo movement; consolidating, packing and shipping, of product; and the need for cooperation and possibly financing to establish these particular entities. In looking for a means of creating a useful and beneficial inter-island air freight movement, we failed somehow to look in our own backyard. In researching the possibility of establishing a good inter-island air freight service we turned our eyes toward the existing locations in all airports, the personnel required to handle freight, and a long-standing reputation in air fights. When these facilities were recognized, the one thing that was needed to make it work was a tie-in to trans-ocean bights that could bring products to the Mainland. Hawaiian Airlines with its regular flights from Honolulu to the great city of Las Vegas, Nevada, and the capability of moving freight inter-island, is a made to order consolidating and shipping facility We found that there was good lift on the wide body planes to Las Vegas from Honolulu, and that there were flights many times a day from every location in the Islands. This almost automatically made for a consolidation of freight. It also gave reliability to the moving of freight within 24 hours to almost any location on the Mainland Distributing out of Las Vegas makes this a no-stop plane transfer shipment front Hawaiian Airlines to other carriers going to all major cities on the Mainland. Thcrc are many flights in and out of Las Vegas, and would be a great freight movement facility because most of their business is dependent upon passengers. When we realized that this made a perfect distribution point, we brought Lynden Air Freight and Hawaiian Airlines together to create a pilot program in which we shipped the products through in record time and in good condition. After analyzing the potential freight that is moved between the islands and the amount of freight that is moved trans-ocean, we have researched the possibility or putting into operation two planes known as Electras which have the capacity to move what is known as the igloo or A-hut that will handle large green plants or other large articles which need to be shipped in containers. The smaller parcels and smaller freight items could be put into LD3 containers and shipped on wide- body planes. Other larger containers could be used to transport products to Japan and to the 11
