The Mālama Maui Desk serves as a vital bridge between the airline and the Maui community, ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most efficiently and effectively. Its dedicated team has worked tirelessly to coordinate the delivery of vital supplies, extend a helping hand to local residents, and support organizations involved in the recovery efforts.
