MK AMF POSTER

After the failed A330 experiment, Makani restored fully inter-island services by late 2017. When COVID-19 hit, the airline saw its passenger service dwindle, but its cargo demand quickly rising. By late 2020, the airline saw an opportunity to attempt an expansion to outside of the Hawaiian islands. They signed a contract with Amerifreight, an American logistics company with a diverse fleet of dedicated freighters and a variety of bases around the US. The contract included branding 2 Amerifreight 767-300Fs with the FlyMakani.com branding and opening an air cargo route between Honolulu and Los Angeles. In return, Amerifreight was given time slots in Honolulu formerly used by Makani's 717 inter-island service, which had been reduced significantly. Amerifreight's Makani-liveried 767s soon became a usual sight at Honolulu, arriving in the early morning, off-loading cargo onto Makani's own 737 freighters, which flew to the other islands. By night time, the 737s return to Honolulu, load their cargo onto the 767s, which takes a late night departure back to the mainland.
