American Airlines has been working to help with the wildfires on Maui, Hawaii. The airline has added flights to and from the island and upgraded the size of aircraft for other planned flights to help evacuate as many individuals as possible. Since the wildfires hit on August 9, American has operated 21 flights from OGG to the U.S. mainland (Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, and Phoenix) to evacuate more than 4,200 customers from the island.

American is also providing relief and supplies to those affected by the wildfires

The American team on the ground in Maui has jumped into action to support members of their community and tourists who were impacted by the wildfires. The team has provided blankets, pillows, onboard amenity kits, water, and other supplies to customers at the airport and throughout the island where community members evacuated.

In addition, American is working with nonprofit organizations Feeding America and Baby 2 Baby to send shipments of critical supplies such as nonperishable food items, baby formula, diapers, feminine products, and more to the island. American is also supporting the Red Cross disaster relief efforts, and AAdvantage® members can earn 10 AAdvantage® bonus miles for every dollar donated with a minimum of $25 donation to the Red Cross.

American is offering additional support and flexibility for customers

The State of Hawaii is discouraging nonessential travel to Maui County and American is recommending the same. To provide additional flexibility to customers, American issued a travel alert, allowing customers whose travel is affected to rebook without fees, cancel, or receive a refund. For customers bringing essential supplies or other items to the island, American is also waiving fees for the first and second pieces of checked luggage through August 25.
