Alaska is closely monitoring the devastating impacts from the Maui wildfires and continues to operate eight daily departures from the island. Today, we stood up a rescue flight filled with relief supplies to Maui.
The flight was filled with relief supplies including water, non-perishable food, pillows, blankets, towels, wipes, baby formula and diapers. The aircraft will bring guests back to Seattle early tomorrow morning. Additional rescue flights are planned to help people leave the island. And while we do not normally operate flights between the Hawaiian islands, we are sending rescue flights between Maui and Honolulu to move guests off of Maui and bring critical supplies in.
Travel to/from Maui:
A flexible travel policy is in place for guests who’d like to change or cancel travel to/from Maui.
In accordance with emergency orders from the state of Hawai‘i, we’re discouraging guests from non-essential travel to Maui. The flexible travel policy allows guests with planned travel to Maui to change their flight to another Hawaiian island. Alaska serves Honolulu, O‘ahu; Kona, Hawai‘i; and Līhu‘e, Kaua‘i.
