Inter-island GA traffic (Maui, Kauai, Big Island) flies on light jets and the iconic local Cessna Caravans. Hawaiian seasonal patterns: snowbird (Dec-Mar) and Japan-USA executive travel (year-round).

An empty-leg flight is a repositioning flight where the operator needs to fly the aircraft anyway and sells it at 40–75% off. Empty legs are whole-aircraft bookings (you book the entire plane, not per seat) and require flexible timing.
