Details for airport operations and monthly payment

The department's airline page distinguishes signatory airlines, non-signatory commercial air carriers and other non-signatory air operators. Use the actual lease status and operating classification. The air-service application asks for service type, airports and start dates, certification, flight schedule and aircraft details; the absence of a signatory lease does not alone settle every reporting category or exemption.

Section 19-16.1-10(b) states $10,000 for non-signatory carriers operating aircraft entirely within Hawaii and $50,000 for all others. The department posts separate Inter-Island and Overseas bond models. Match the carrier's full operation to DOT's determination; a single interisland leg does not by itself establish eligibility for the smaller bond. Have DOT confirm the required sum and model before buying.

Under sections 19-16.1-9 and -10, activity reports are due within 15 days after the end of the month in which activity occurs. With a bond posted, landing fees and the system support charge accompany those reports; without it, those charges are due immediately after landing. Other chapter charges are payable within 30 days of the end of the month incurred. Keep the actual landing, aircraft-weight and passenger or cargo activity records with the account.

Both posted models are continuous and permit surety termination on 30 days' written notice to the State DOT. Use current delivery and account instructions rather than assuming a one-year term or copying an old airport name and address from a posted model. Keep required insurance, reporting and operating approvals separate from bond issuance.
