Island Air suspending flights because of weather

By WTOP Staff

HONOLULU (AP) — Island Air is suspending some flights this weekend because of a powerful storm heading to Hawaii.

The Hawaii Tourism Authority says Island Air will be suspending Maui and Lanai flights starting Saturday afternoon. The airline will suspend all flights on Sunday.

Tourism officials say they’ve been informed some airlines are waiving change fees. Visitors in Hawaii or traveling to the islands in the coming days are advised to confirm their reservations.

Ana is now at hurricane strength and is forecast to slowly weaken to a tropical storm on Saturday and into Sunday. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall, flash flooding, strong and damaging winds, high surf and coastal inundation across the state from Friday through Monday.
