#maui airport runway

Ongoing airfield maintenance at Runway 2-20 in Kahului will result in increased air traffic over Kahului, Wailuku and Spreckelsville this weekend.

The plans ranged from $34 to $134 million with the least costly resulting up to a 10 week closure of the runway for wide body aircraft, and the most expensive requiring an EIS—but allowing for the continuance of wide body air traffic. The repairs, transportation officials say, are needed to address decades of asphalt overlay, and an increased presence of foreign object debris.
