Continental to cancel JWA-to-Maui flights

Continental Airlines will end its Orange County-Maui service Dec. 31.

Started in March 2010, the regular weekend flights will be canceled, according to airport spokeswoman Jenny Wedge.

Continental will provide daily Maui service from Dec. 19 to 31, to take advantage of the holiday travel rush.

The airline’s Orange County-Honolulu service remains unaffected.

“It’s unfortunate this is ending, as we know there are lots of Orange County residents who travel to and from this area,” Wedge said about Maui. “We’d love to see this service return or offered by another carrier in the future.”
