Debt-plagued Delta Air Lines Inc. announced today that it will add flights to Hawai'i in a move to increase profits.

Delta plans to add its first nonstop service between Atlanta and Maui starting Dec. 16, and one-stop service from Atlanta to Kailua-Kona via Salt Lake City, starting Dec. 1. The two additional flights bring to 11 the number of daily trips between Hawai'i and the mainland, Delta said.

The nation's third-largest airline also said it will slash a quarter of its flights at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, a move that could cost up to 1,000 jobs.



Groups sought for fundraising at Aloha Stadium

The company that operates the food and beverage concessions at Aloha Stadium says there are still openings for nonprofit organizations that want to conduct fundraising events during Friday and Saturday night football games at the stadium.

Organizations must have a minimum of 20 members above age 18 to qualify, according to Centerplate, which also runs food and beverage concessions at seven other Hawai'i locations. The nonprofit organizations will be granted permission to operate at the stadium in exchange for 10 percent of their net sales. For more information, visit centerplatehawaii.com.
