OHUN TO MU KURO NINU AKOKO YI:

Some of the EAS cities that Southern served saw a 40 percent increase in traffic over the prior year and many of their airports had their best year for enplanements in more than a decade.
In fact, the carrier said it's coming off a record-setting year for passenger growth in the EAS cities that it serves.
Southern's chief marketing officer Keith Sisson said the deal, which is mostly financial, includes all assets of Mokulele Airlines and will bring the combined employee count to 550, and all current Mokulele employees will be kept on.
