857 People Arrive in Hawai‘i on Saturday, Including 255 Visitors

On Saturday, May 9, a total of 857 people arrived in Hawaiʻi including 255 visitors and 334 residents, according to new information compiled by the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority. While passenger counts continue to rise, there were no trans-Pacific flights to Maui on Saturday.  The island continues to see an average of 3 to 4 domestic flights from the mainland per week as a result of reduced flight schedules.

During this same time last year, nearly 30,000 passengers arrived in Hawaiʻi daily, including residents and visitors.

The state’s mandatory 14-day self-quarantine started on March 26th for all passengers arriving in Hawaiʻi from out of state. The quarantine order was expanded on April 1st to include interisland travelers. The table shows the number of people who arrived by air from out-of-state yesterday and does not include interisland travel.

Crew = flight crew members
Intended Resident = people who are moving to Hawaiʻi such as military members and their families, and former residents who intend to live in Hawaiʻi
Resident = people who have a Hawaiʻi ID
Transit = people who are in transit to another location through Hawaiʻi and aren’t leaving the airport
Visitor = people who do not have a Hawaiʻi ID including essential health care workers, essential federal workers, former residents such as mainland college students coming to stay with family, military on temporary assignment, and leisure travelers

Majority of the people who flew to Hawaiʻi yesterday arrived on Oʻahu. The following tables show what the Oʻahu visitors indicated as the purpose of their trip and their type of accommodation, and they can choose more than one. This data was collected from the HTA survey on the back of the Hawaiʻi Agriculture Declaration Form. People are not mandated by law to fill out the survey so some are left blank.
