Mandelbaum Salsburg’s Corporate Practice represented Southern Airways in connection with its recent acquisition of Mokulele Airlines, a Hawaii based airline. Also in connection with this transaction, Southern Airways raised additional capital from a national airline. The deal team on this transaction included Jeffrey Wasserman, Dan Barkin and Patrick Toolan. The newly combined entity will operate 1,380 weekly flights, more than any other commuter airline in the 50 states.

One of Southern’s goals for the expanded company will be to obtain additional interline ticket and baggage agreements with major carriers. Southern has interline agreements with American Airlines and Condor Airlines, while Mokulele has agreements with Alaska Airlines and Air New Zealand. Expanding those partnerships to include multiple national and global carriers will be the focus post-integration.

Unlike Southern’s previous two acquisitions, which included name changes and rebranding, Southern intends to keep the Mokulele brand alive and well in the Hawaiian Islands, while eventually operating all flights on the Southern Airways FAA operating certificate.
