About This File
Aerosoft is pleased to offer you, on behalf of Freddy De Pues from Fred-E.Net, Hana Airport (IATA: HNM, ICAO: PHHN, FAA LID: HNM) is a regional public use airport of the State of Hawaii on the east shore of the island of Maui, three nautical miles (6 km) northwest of the unincorporated town of Hana. It is primarily a commuter facility used by unscheduled air taxis and general aviation. As air traffic increases, the Hawaii State Legislature will consider future improvements including the construction of a taxiway paralleling the runway, widening of access roads and expansion of passenger terminals and parking facilities.

Scheduled commercial airline service provided Pacific Wings was subsidized by the Essential Air Service program until April 1, 2007, when Pacific Wings began providing subsidy-free service; however, with fares as high as $200 each way, most travelers opted to drive rather than fly. According to U.S. Department of Transportation data, Pacific Wings transported only 375 passengers in the first 10 months of 2012, while Mokulele Airlines claims to have transported 1706 passengers since October 2012, according to their EAS bid for Kamuela service on May 23, 2013.
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 1,462 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 682 enplanements in 2009, and 132 in 2010. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport.
