PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Hawaii state officials are asking upcoming travelers to postpone visiting the island of Maui as crews work to contain the massive wildfires that have already caused severe destruction to many communities. Maui's primary airport, Kahului Airport (OGG), is open, but officials with the Hawaii Department of Transportation urged patience at the airport. Nonessential inbound travel to Maui is strongly discouraged, Ed Sniffen, director of the Hawaii State Department of Transportation, said Wednesday at a news conference.
