Kapalua Airport Guide
Kapalua Airport, also called Kapalua-West Maui Airport, is a small public airport in the Mahinahina district on the west side of Maui, Hawaii, about five nautical miles north of Lahaina. It opened in 1987 and replaced the shorter Kaanapali Airport, which freed coastal land for development.
The Hawaii Department of Transportation, Airports Division, operates the field under a special agreement with Maui County. The airport covers 50 acres at 256 feet elevation and has one asphalt runway, 2/20, measuring 3,000 by 100 feet. The runway is short, so the airport handles small aircraft only.
Scheduled service is by commuter airline to Honolulu. Hawaiian Airlines suspended its flights on 25 March 2020 during COVID-19 cutbacks. The airport code JHM honors John Henry Magoon, president of Hawaiian Airlines when the airline developed the field.
The terminal is small and has a snack bar serving light snacks, meals and drinks. There are no air cargo facilities. Commuter passengers are not screened by the TSA. The airport recorded 40,060 enplanements in 2010.
