Animal Transport Partnership Program
Caring for Hawaiʻi’s Animals — One Flight at a Time
For more than 32 years, Kamaka Air has been honored to serve Hawaiʻi’s communities by connecting people, businesses, and beloved animals across the islands. From house pets to penguins, Kamaka Air offers safe, reliable, and compassionate air transport for animals requiring medical care, relocation, or specialized handling.
Our Animal Transport Partnership Program supports veterinarians, animal rescues, and families by ensuring pets receive timely care—no matter which island they call home. Through partnerships with veterinary clinics, shelters, and organizations like The Veterinary Emergency & Referral Center of Hawaii (VERC) and the Humane Society, we make it possible for animals to reach the care they need quickly and safely with same-day interisland delivery.
