This is going to get interesting

When Aloha Airlines shut down earlier this month, their cargo division remained open. They’ve been responsible for transporting 85% of the goods that move between the islands. Yesterday, Aloha’s cargo division shut its doors.

People who had dropped packages to ship were called to pick them up. The major bakery (think Wonderbread) in the islands usually ships its product from Oahu to the Big Island or Kauai via Aloha Cargo. With no other way to serve customers, Maui will receive its daily bread via the controversial Super Ferry and the rest will be delivered via a temporary route that takes the bread all the way to the mainland and back. The US mail is also scrambling for an alternative in a place where its already notoriously slow.
