Kona International Airport

Kona International Airport is an airport at Keāhole on the Island of Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i. The airport serves the city of Kailua-Kona and the major resorts of the North Kona and South Kohala districts (leeward or kona Hawai‘i). Its IATA Airport Code is KOA. This state government of Hawai‘i facility operates an 11,000-foot (3350-m) runway and a terminal complex of single story buildings along the eastern edge of the airfield for arriving and departing passengers, air cargo and mail, airport support, and general aviation operations.

Kona International, or "Kailua-Kona" as it is typically called by locals and interisland passengers, is the only remaining major airport in the Hawaiian Islands where a mobile ramp is used to plane and deplane passengers. The airport terminal is a rambling, open-air set of structures long appreciated by arriving passengers for the casual, "holiday" atmosphere it engenders. Long after other airports in Hawai‘i converted their terminals to multi-story buildings with automated jetway systems, Hawaiian Airlines could still utilize their DC-9 fleet's tailcone exits at Kailua-Kona.

The following airlines serve Kona:
