HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
As Hurricane Sandy strengthens in the Atlantic, Hawaiian
Airlines has cancelled scheduled flights between Honolulu and New York City at
the request of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Passengers scheduled to fly to New York-JFK on Sunday,
October 28 and Monday, October 29 will be booked onto other regularly scheduled
flights or an additional round trip that will depart Honolulu on Tuesday,
weather permitting.
Earlier in the week, Hawaiian Airlines said it would waive
any booking change fees related for passengers affected by the hurricane.
Affected passengers should call Hawaiian's reservations desk at 1-800-367-5320
According to Hawaiian, the affected flights are HA 50, which
departs daily from Honolulu International Airport at 3:05 p.m., and HA 51,
which departs daily from John F. Kennedy International Airport at 10:00 a.m.
Hawaiian is also working to make arrangements for neighbor
island residents booked on affected flights, and to provide accommodations with
the Ohana Hotels for passengers connecting from other Hawaiian Airlines flight
destinations.
