Now that travel to Hawaii is back and without the need for masks, people are eagerly lining up to head there.
There's only a couple of problems.
There's a shortage of pilots and higher fuel prices. This is forcing one airline to cut all service to Hawaii for the rest of this year.
According to TravelPulse:
All airlines are dealing with pilot shortages and higher fuel prices, and adapting their schedules as the situation dictates.
For one airline, it has meant making a dramatic decision.
Budget carrier Sun Country Airlines said Tuesday it will cut service to Hawaii for the rest of the year due to the mitigating factors, according KHON in Honolulu.
In a message to customers, Sun Country said: “Due to the current pilot shortage impacting all U.S. airlines, Sun Country has regrettably elected to suspend service to Honolulu, HI (HNL) for the 2022 travel season. Passengers who were booked on impacted flights will automatically be refunded to their original form of payment for their reservation. We apologize for any inconvenience this temporary suspension of Honolulu service causes to our customers. We are hopeful for a return of Honolulu service for the 2023 travel season.”
