HRS §261E-20
Existing air service gets a state certificate
This section says that once the required federal law is in place, any airline already allowed by the U.S. Department of Transportation to fly only between points inside Hawaii will automatically qualify for a state certificate. The certificate is issued under this chapter.
The statute, as written — Existing service
(a) As of the effective date of enactment of all required federal legislation, any person providing air transportation with turnaround service between two points, both of which are within the State of Hawaii pursuant to authority granted by the United States Department of Transportation, shall be deemed qualified and shall be issued a certificate pursuant to this chapter. (b) For the purposes of this section, "turnaround service" means the operation of an aircraft that only serves points within the State of Hawaii. [L Sp 2008, c 1, pt of §2]
