Airlines bringing visitors from the U.S. mainland to the four main Hawaiian Islands are among the hardest hit sectors. Please join us for our conversation with four of these  carriers to discuss topics such as the impacts and opportunities of the pandemic; what their networks look like post-pandemic – new routes and connectivity opportunities for passengers; how they continue to maintain the new health and safety enhancements that were implemented during the pandemic; and any questions or topics you bring to the panel.
