Alaska Air Group said on Thursday it was delaying some flights to Hawaii because of wildfires in the region.

At least 36 people have died after wildfires, fanned by winds from a faraway hurricane, devastated much of the resort city Lahaina on Hawaii's Maui island, the Maui County said in a statement late on Wednesday.
