WHEREAS:, Aloha Airlines, Inc., is not authorized to
serve Kamuela Airport, although it is authorized to serve
Upolu Point, Kailua-Kona and Hilo on the island of Hawaii;
and
WHEREAS, Upolu Point is the airport nearest to the resort
complex, carriage service to said airport has been suspended
for a number of years and said airport is scheduled to be
closed permanently because there is no economic necessity for
this airport since Kamuela Airport is-more strategically
situated to service that region of the island of Hawaii; and
WHEREAS, the competitive position of Aloha Airlines,
Inc., relative to its competitor; shall be seriously affected
if said airline cannot serve Kamuela Airport, the gateway to
the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and golf course complex, the newest
prime tourist destination area, because said airline would not
be able to provide comprehensive tourist tour packages to all
major tourist destination areas unlike its competitor; and
WHEREAS, the existence of sound, vigorous competition
between carriers increases the quantitative and qualitative
services into the Kamuela region of the County of Hawaii; and
WHEREAS, a more adequate and efficient carriage service
is essential to the successful operation of the resort complex,
and shall generate new employment opportunities, new economic
opportunities, and strengthen existing opportunities in the
Kamuela region to alleviate conditions of substantial and
persistent unemployment and underemployment in this under-
developed region of an economically depressed county, which
county was designated a redevelopment area under the Area
Redevelopment Act of 1961, on December 30, 1961s
