Honolulu Airport...
Honolulu International Airport the principal aviation gateway of the City and County of Honolulu and the State of Hawaii and identified as one of the busiest airports in
the United States. Honolulu International Airport is the second busiest port in Hawaii following Honolulu Harbor.
Opened
in March 1927 as John Rodgers Airport, Honolulu International Airport is the principal hub of Hawaiian
Airlines and Aloha Airlines the two largest Hawaii-based airlines.
Both airlines offer flights between the various airports of the Hawaiian
Islands and also serve the continental United
States.
Honolulu International Airport is host to major United States and international flagship commercial
carriers with direct routes to American, Asian, and Pacific Rim destinations.
Honolulu International Airport is part of a centralized state structure governing
all of the airports and seaports of Hawaii. The official authority of Honolulu International Airport is the Governor of Hawaii. He or
she appoints the Director of the Hawaii State Department of Transportation
who has jurisdiction over the Hawaii Airports Administrator.
Honolulu International Airport has four major runways. The principal runway designated
8R/26L, also known as the Reef Runway, is the world's first major
runway constructed entirely offshore. Completed in 1977, the Reef
Runway is a designated alternate landing site for the NASA space
shuttle program in association with Hickham Airforce Base, which
shares Honolulu International Airport's airfield operations.
In addition
to the four paved runways, Honolulu International Airport has two designated offshore runways
designated 8W/26W and 4W/22W for use by seaplanes.
On March
24, 2006, Hawaii Governor
Linda Lingle unveiled a $2.3 billion modernization program for Honolulu International Airport over a 12-year period. The plan
involves implementing short-term projects within the first five years
to improve passenger service and increase security and operational
efficiencies. These include upgrades to the passenger terminals,
ticket counters, baggage screening operations, runways and airport
aprons, airport infrastructure such as air conditioning, restroom
facilities, elevators, escalators, electrical systems, drains and
sprinkler systems.
In addition,
the plan incorporates improvements to comply with federal regulations
on storm water systems, runway safety, perimeter security and crash
fire safety. Long-term improvement projects include increasing the
airports’ capacity and enhancing convenience and efficiency.
These projects include constructing additional gates, ramp space
and passenger loading bridges, increasing holding room capacity,
and expanding public parking facilities.
