Kahului International Airport — Kahului, United States

Maui's main airport, assigned the code OGG, took its identifier not from its own name but, according to widely repeated aviation trivia, in honor of Bertram Hogg, a Hawaiian Airlines aviation pioneer, long before jet travel connected the islands to the mainland United States in significant volume. Situated near the town of Kahului on Maui's central isthmus, the airport handles the bulk of the island's tourism traffic, funneling visitors toward resort areas like Kaanapali and Wailea as well as the winding road to Hana and the volcanic summit of Haleakalā. Interisland flights connect Kahului constantly with Honolulu and the other main Hawaiian islands, supplementing a growing number of direct routes from the US mainland that have reduced reliance on connecting through Oahu. Two runways handle this mixed traffic, though the shorter of the two limits some of the largest widebody aircraft able to fly nonstop into OGG.
