THE LOSS OF TWO AIRLINES IN HAWAII AND TWO MORE ON THE MAINLAND ARE SENDING ARRIVALS CRASHING DOWN IN HAWAII. THE HAWAII VISITORS AND CONVENTION BUREAU SAYS ARRIVALS ARE DOWN MORE THAN FOURTEEN PERCENT COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. UNTIL APRIL, ARRIVALS HAD BEEN AVERAGING ABOUT TWO PER CENT HIGHER THAN THE SAME TIME IN 2007. COINCIDENTALLY, LOST ALOHA AND ATA FLIGHTS BETWEEN HAWAII AND THE MAINLAND AMOUNTED TO ABOUT 15 PERCENT OF AVAILABLE FLIGHTS ON THOSE ROUTES.

AND SPEAKING OF AIR, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PLAY IT SAFE THIS AFTERNOON. MAUI COUNTY CIVIL DEFENSE ISSUED A HEALTH ALERT FOR POOR AIR QUALITY FROM VOLCANIC EMISSIONS SPEWING OUT OF KILAUEA ON THE BIG ISLAND. THE HEALTH ALERT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL SIX THIS EVENING.

ISLAND WEATHER, TRADEWINDS SHOULD PICK UP A LITTLE - CLEARING OUT THE BAD AIR. A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE MID 80S.
