Kahului Airport, International airport in Kahului, United States
Kahului Airport is an aerodrome in Kahului on Maui and consists of two separate terminals with palm trees planted between the buildings. Travelers find lounges, shops, and dining options on both levels of the terminals, with gates arranged along long corridors.
The site was established as a military air base in 1942 and served the Navy during World War II. The transition to civilian use took place in 1952 when the Hawaiian government assumed management.
The airport code OGG honors Bertram J. Hogg, a Kauai native pilot who flew various aircraft for Hawaiian Airlines from Sikorsky amphibians to DC-9s.
Travelers can navigate the terminals easily as signs guide the way to different areas and gates. Security wait times vary depending on the time of day, with early mornings and afternoons typically busier.
Strong trade winds regularly blow across the tarmac and cause luggage carts and loose items to shift or get carried away. The open design of the terminals allows these air currents to be felt even in waiting areas.
