This wouldn't have been optimal for Mokulele as it would have made connections to long-haul flights more difficult. Now that things have changed with Island Air going bust, maybe Mokulele could take the space under gate 6?
Last I read, the article is accurate and describes the current plan. Mokulele will indeed move, the area under gate 6 will be built out to a shell and the Mauka concourse project will proceed. The newest info regarding the HNL modernization is HAL spending big bucks to remodel T2. No details at this point, however.
