So far no effects on flights to the Big Island or to other Hawaiian islands.

May I ask:

Are you referring to volcanic activity (lava flows - but also ash in the atmosphere) interfering with air traffic - or do you mean lower demand for seats in aircraft (attributable, e.g., to "spooked" tourists)?

Regards,

I was referring to ash in the air. I haven't looked up tourist info, since it hasn't been that long ago that the volcano started spewing new lava.

Most Hawaiian tourism is booked months in advance so I suspect that once a ticket is bought passengers tend to use it.

Plus, an active eruption without major explosions is good for business.

The aviation code has been raised to RED.
