I had some Hawaii flights booked for mid-March (YYC - OGG) that were canceled today.
“AC587 to Kahului, Kahului (OGG) has been cancelled. This is due to a temporary suspension of flights to and from the Caribbean and Mexico beginning Sunday, January 31st for 90 days in support of the Government of Canada's request in response to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.”

- 25% capacity reduction of AC system
- 1700 layoffs
- 44 temporarily suspended flights, including 12 domestic, 10 trans-border (USA) and a full 22 international routes.
-Hawaii routes suspended in that announcement were; Calgary to Maui and Vancouver to Honolulu, Maui
All provincial and federal governments have been asking Canadians not to travel for leisure outside of the country for months, therefore the route suspensions will not have come as a surprise to anyone. Yes, Air Canada made a small error in its wording of its notice, but the error when taken within the context of the overall route suspensions is minor and not noteworthy.

Ok, the automated message was technically incorrect, but it is a non issue. The Maui route suspension was announced on Jan. 13, 2021. Highlights of the announcement were;
- 25% capacity reduction of AC system
- 1700 layoffs
- 44 temporarily suspended flights, including 12 domestic, 10 trans-border (USA) and a full 22 international routes.
-Hawaii routes suspended in that announcement were; Calgary to Maui and Vancouver to Honolulu, Maui.

FWIW, the Hawaii flights are still listed on AC’s “Route updates” page…

The Hawaii cancellation emails are were coded incorrectly, yes. The silver-lining is the full refund statement is included in that email, the same as applies to Mexico, Central America (aka Costa Rica) and Caribbean cancelled flights. I will take that partial win and remain grateful for the ongoing incompetence of AC IT.

Right now, I am booked with family to go to Hawaii on AC in mid Oct (although I may have to cancel, if the covid numbers continue to go up in Hawaii and/or the state government puts restrictions of out of country (including Canada) travelers.
I will be flying via YVR to OGG (Maui) and coming back via HNL and YVR.
Anything I need to know that is different since the last post in Jan 2021?
In particular, I am wondering about who checks the covid pcr test results- AC on boarding the flight at YVR, and/or someone at HNL on arrival?
Right now, will all 4 main islands still allow international travelers (notwithstanding the governor's statement discouraging tourists due to covid)?
Is interisland travel still allowed, from a covid point of view?
