The Big Island has two airports that accommodate major air traffic.<\/p>\n

Kona International Airport (KOA)<\/h2>\n

Officially named Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, KOA is located on the leeward, or western, side of the Big Island. The airport is located about 7 miles northwest of Kailua-Kona off Queen Kaahumanu Highway. Kona International Airport accommodates domestic overseas, international, interisland, commuter\/air taxi, and general aviation flights.<\/p>\n

Hilo International Airport (ITO)<\/h2>\n

Hilo International Airport is located about 2 miles east of Hilo on the eastern, or windward, shore of the Big Island. The airport is used principally for domestic flights — interisland air carrier and general aviation operations.<\/p>\n

Many flights into both Hilo and Kailua-Kona originate as inter-island flights from Oahu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport<\/a>, or from other smaller airports in the islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
