JAL Mahalo Fares
The JAL Group started offering the JAL Mahalo fares on June 5, 2024 (World Environment Day).
A portion of the ticket prices go to non-profit organizations dedicated to preserving Hawaiʻi's coastlines, species, and culture through Mālama 1.
Support for Fiscal Year 2025
A portion of the proceeds from the JAL Mahalo fares purchased by customers in fiscal year 2024, totaling $150,000 ($50,000 each to Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i, Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi, and the National Tropical Botanical Garden), has been provided as support funds.
The support funds from the JAL Group will be used for part of each organization’s environmental and cultural conservation activities.
Sustainable Coastlines Hawaiʻi
Sustainable Coastlines Hawaiʻi works to encourage local communities to participate in beach cleanup activities in a fun and casual manner. They plan and run educational programs and community awareness campaigns, as well as support beach cleanup efforts organized by other groups.
Support through the JAL Mahalo fares is used for part of the organization’s initiatives to pass on their activities to the next generation of young people, including conducting large-scale beach cleanups, expanding hands-on educational programs, and resource recovery efforts.
Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi
Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi is committed to promoting the social and economic development of the local community and preserving the cultural and spiritual practices of Native Hawaiians through cultural, educational, and ecosystem restoration programs. Producing kalo (taro), a highly nutritious staple food of Hawaiians, and restoring the agricultural and ecological productivity of the Heʻeia wetlands, Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi provides educational programs to the younger generation focusing on Hawaiian culture, sustainable energy, and environmental conservation. Support through the JAL Mahalo fares contributes to part of these efforts.
National Tropical Botanical Garden
The National Botanical Garden, with four locations across Hawaiʻi, is dedicated to protecting Hawaiʻi's invaluable biodiversity and ensuring that the unique plants of this land, along with their stories, traditions, and knowledge, are passed on to future generations. In collaboration with local communities and schools, the garden also conducts hands-on conservation education programs to help students and community members gain a deeper understanding of native plants and their cultural significance. Support through the JAL Mahalo fares is used for the conservation of Hawaiʻi's rare and endangered native plants, as well as for nurturing the next generation of plant guardians.
