(Reuters) -Alaska Air Group said on Thursday it was sticking with its regular flight schedule from Maui, Hawaii, although there were some delays because of wildfires.
The company is also adding an extra flight to facilitate rescue efforts and may consider including more depending on the situation, it said.
“In terms of operational impact, we are delaying some flights to ensure smooth operations,” the carrier said in a statement.
At least 36 people have died after wildfires, fanned by winds from a faraway hurricane, devastated much of the resort city Lahaina on Hawaii’s Maui island, Maui County said in a statement late on Wednesday.
