Island Air to stop flights to Lanai starting in April

HONOLULU (AP) — Island Air will no longer offer service to Lanai, a move that comes two months after billionaire Larry Ellison sold his majority stake in the airline to an investor group led by a Hawaii venture capitalist.

The state's second-largest airline said Tuesday that it would offer its final flights to Lanai on March 31.

Ellison, who founded Oracle Corp., bought Island Air in February 2013 and sold a controlling interest in the company in January to two investment groups managed by Honolulu-based venture capitalist Jeffrey Au.
