He says carriers have lowered airfares to attract passengers. But he says unprofitable routes don't last long.

The $500,000 campaign started last week with a focus on Oahu. It will focus on a different island for each of the next three weeks: Maui, Hawaii and Kauai.

The advertisements include segments on Hawaii weather to be aired during local television weather broadcasts.

Online, the agency will have Hawaii-branded weather "page skins" and homepage "takeover" ads.
