Hawaii Airports Close, Flights Cancelled Amid Tsunami Threat After Russia Earthquake
A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Russia triggered tsunami warnings that have severely disrupted travel to Hawaii, leading to the temporary closure of Maui and Kona airports and the suspension of all commercial flights by major carriers like Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines. Tsunami waves have already begun impacting Hawaii’s coastlines, prompting evacuations and safety measures including banning commercial flights to support emergency response efforts. Flights to and from multiple Hawaiian airports, including Kahului, Hilo, Kona, and Honolulu, have been canceled, diverted, or delayed, with airlines advising travelers to check flight statuses before heading to airports. The tsunami warnings have also affected other regions such as Japan, Alaska, and the U.S. West Coast, with officials urging caution and preparations for potential waves. Hawaii’s Governor and local authorities have emphasized the unpredictable nature of the tsunami’s impact, highlighting risks such as flooding, damage from waves, and the necessity for residents and visitors to evacuate coastal zones. Airlines continue to coordinate with government agencies to monitor conditions and prioritize passenger safety while managing the widespread travel disruptions.
