With the demise of ATA and Aloha Airlines, we get asked frequently what we think the impact will be on Maui real estate. What is happening at the moment to airfares etc? This Honolulu Advertiser article summarizes things.

With Aloha Airlines and ATA ending their passenger service, the remaining flights between here and the Mainland are fuller, with fewer discounted seats…

So what does it mean for Maui real estate?

Over time, we don’t think much. Travelers who are cost conscious to that degree likely aren’t buyers of Maui real estate, particularly Wailea real estate or Maui oceanfront real estate. We also expect other airlines to step into the breach left by ATA and Aloha and that should have a positive impact on the current situation. For details, contact us.
