He hōʻike maikaʻi loa kēia no kā Jetwing kūpaʻa i ke kaiapuni a me ke kaiāulu no 45 mau makahiki.

Ma mua o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ka mākaʻikaʻi hoʻomau i ka ʻoihana, ua ʻimi ʻo Jetwing i nā ala e hoʻoliʻiliʻi ai i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni a mālama i kahi pilina pili loa me nā mea kuleana āpau. I ka mua ma lalo o ka Papahana Honua mau loa, ua kau ʻo Jetwing i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kaiāulu, ka hoʻomau ʻana, nā hana eco a me nā papahana kōkua kanaka.
