HONOLULU (AP) — The state Department of Public Safety says a man was arrested after punching a mixed martial arts fighter in the face during board for an interisland flight to Hilo.
Brandon Kealoha was charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault. The MMA fighter was not identified.
Friday's incident was one of several issues over four days for the interisland carrier, go!
Parent company Mesa Air Group Inc., CEO Jonathan Ornstein tells the Honolulu Star-Advertiser it was a difficult weekend.
On Monday, sheriff's deputies arrested an Italian military policeman after he joked about having a bomb at the ticket counter. The small airline also experienced an undermined amount of cancels or delays after three of its five aircraft had maintenance issues.
Orenstein says the airline will resume at full capacity Tuesday.
