Kahului Airport (OGG)

Maui International Airport – The Gateway to the Valley Isle

The Maui International Airport is the primary airport serving the island of Maui, also known as the Valley Isle for its lush landscapes and natural beauty. Conveniently located in downtown Kahului, the airport provides essential air service for both inter-island and mainland travelers, acting as Maui’s main connection point to the rest of Hawaii and beyond.

While smaller and more relaxed than larger airports like Honolulu, Kahului Airport offers a welcoming and efficient travel experience that reflects the island’s charm. From OGG, travelers can connect to other Hawaiian airports, including Kapalua Airport and Hana Airport on Maui; Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) on Oahu; Kona, Hilo, and Waimea-Kohala Airports on the Big Island; Lanaʻi Airport; and Molokaʻi and Kalaupapa Airports. These inter-island flights make it easy to explore the Hawaiian archipelago from Maui.

About the Maui Airport

Maui Airport is operated by the Hawaii Department of Transportation and offers a full range of passenger services, including car rentals, ground transportation, shopping, dining, and visitor assistance. While it does not bear the name of a specific public figure, like Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on Oahu, Maui Airport plays a vital role in the daily life and economy of Kauai.

The airport is designed for ease and efficiency, with open-air terminals and beautiful views of the island’s surrounding mountains and coastlines. It provides the perfect introduction—or farewell—to one of Hawaii’s most scenic and beloved destinations.

Maui Airport offers direct flights to multiple major cities across the U.S. mainland, including:

* West Coast Hubs: Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Oakland, San Jose, and Phoenix
