Southwest Airlines is boosting Hawaii flights to help with relief efforts on Maui.
Fast moving Hawaii wildfires were whipped up by hurricane force winds which has all but destroyed the historic town of Lahaina
Lahaina was ‘almost totally burnt to the ground’ said Brian Schatz, a Hawaii US senator.
At least 36 people have now died as a result of the Hawaii wildfires.
Southwest said it will add more Hawaii flights between the islands and back to the mainland ‘to keep people and supplies moving.’
Hundreds of residents have been displaced and many businesses have been been burnt down.
“Our heart is with Hawaii,” the airline tweeted.
Southwest is also allowing change fee waivers for travelers flying to or from Kahului Airport.
The airport itself was turned into a makeshift shelter for displaced residents and tourists.
