Name/Title
Official Dedication of Maalaea Airport Cachet Cover
Description
In philately, a cachet is a printed or stamped design or inscription, other than a cancellation or pre-printed postage, on an envelope, postcard, or postal card to commemorate a postal or philatelic event. There are both official and private (independent of postal authorities) cachets.
Maalaea is the original site for the Maui Airport, a small, turf runway airport situated near the Oceanside. Inter-Island Airways (Hawaiian Airlines) built the airport after being granted permission after a three-year-long fight to secure an airport on Maui.
