In a remarkable display of deep-rooted commitment and\nsolidarity, Kamaka Air, a regional air freight delivery company serving the State\nof Hawaii, has expanded its relief efforts to support the citizens of Maui\nafter deadly wildfires ravaged the island beginning Tuesday, August 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In continuation of its legacy to impact affected\ncommunities, Kamaka Air facilitated 10 evacuation flights and multiple free\ncargo flight deliveries with over 65,000 pounds of essential supplies, such as\nfood, clothing, medicine, and household goods for citizens affected by the\ncrisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur hearts are with the people of Maui during this\nchallenging time, and we extend our deepest condolences to the families and\nfriends who experienced the loss of a precious life. We hope that the essential\nsupplies shipped, and our passenger charter flights provide comfort and relief\nfor citizens who relocated temporarily for shelter,\u201d expressed Jim Petrides,\nPresident at Kamaka Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When news broke of the devastation in Maui, Kamaka Air\nreceived donations from over 41 contributors, such as the Hawaii Veterinary\nMedical Association, Hawaiian Humane Society, N\u00c4\u0081 Kama Kai, Ka Oni Canoe Club,\nHawai’i State Teachers Association, United Public Workers, RevoluSun, and the\nFour Seasons Resorts among others. The collective effort of these organizations\ndemonstrates the spirit of unity across the region in times of hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe recognize our donors and community heroes, such as\nArchie Kalepa, a world-renowned waterman, surfer, and retired lifeguard who,\nwith his team of volunteers, responded quickly to the needs of the Lahaina\ncommunity and provided much-needed medical supplies, essentials, and\nlife-sustaining food to those in need. His immediate response to the disaster\nsaved hundreds of lives in Lahaina,\u201d stated Joelle Aki Aoki, Government Affairs\nOfficer and Lana\u2019i Station Manager at Kamaka Air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
