Hawaiian Flight School Gains F-1 Approval
Mauna Loa Helicopters has obtained U.S. Department of Homeland Security approval to issue I-20 applications for F-1 visas to international students that sign up for its Professional Pilot program. Company President Ben Fouts says the approval allows international students to “gain practical experience as flight instructors in the United States.” Founded in 1995, the flight school has bases on three Hawaiian Islands—Hawaii (the Big Island), Kauai and Oahu.
