- Hawaiian Airlines increases flights to aid evacuation process
- Hawaiian Airlines offers main cabin fares as low as $19 to expedite evacuation
Amidst the ongoing battle against the raging wildfires on Maui, Hawaiian Airlines has swiftly taken action to aid the evacuation process by adding flights and offering exceptionally low $19 fares to ensure the safety of both residents and visitors caught in the midst of this natural disaster.
The wildfires, which have wreaked havoc across the picturesque island, have prompted officials to initiate mass evacuation efforts. Thousands of tourists and residents find themselves grappling with the need to swiftly vacate the affected areas, and the state has set up the Hawaii Convention Center as a haven for those unable to return to their homes.
The urgency of the situation led to the establishment of mass evacuation staging areas on Maui. Furthermore, the city has taken proactive measures by providing shuttle buses from Honolulu’s airport to the convention center at intervals of 20 minutes. The evacuation process is set to continue throughout the coming days, with a particular focus on West Maui.
Hawaiian Airlines has stepped up as a beacon of support. Recognizing the need for swift action, the airline has augmented its flight offerings, thereby increasing the capacity to ferry people away from the affected areas.
Peter Ingram, the CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, articulated the company’s commitment to its employees and passengers. “We’re doing what we can to provide resources to take care of our employees, and we’re doing what we can to take care of our guests,” he affirmed, emphasizing the shared responsibility to ensure the well-being of all individuals caught in the midst of this crisis.
