Only two flights were canceled at Hawaiian the entire day (HNL-OGG-HNL). The interisland operation ran a little more tardy then normal and the west coast/international operation ran pretty much as a normal day. Kudos to the folks at HAL for doing a good job running a safe operation and still getting people to where they needed to be.

That evening flight was in the air for 10 to 15 minutes of the scheduled 35-minute flight when it returned to Hono.lulu because the storm at that time hit its peak over Maui.
