About Kapalua Airport

Overview

Kapalua Airport serves the western region of Maui, Hawaii, providing critical aviation access to the Lahaina area. Located at an elevation of 256 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport facilitates regional transportation and supports tourism infrastructure for the northwest part of the island.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at 20.962900, -156.673004, Kapalua Airport experiences typical Hawaiian tropical maritime weather conditions with potential trade wind influences. The airport's moderate elevation and coastal location can produce variable wind conditions that pilots should carefully assess during approach and departure.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (02/20) measuring 3000 feet with an asphalt surface, which provides adequate length for most regional aircraft operations. Its geographic positioning on Maui's western coastline means pilots should anticipate potential terrain interactions and localized wind patterns around the runway.

Approach Considerations

Given the airport's single runway orientation (02/20), pilots should conduct thorough wind assessments prior to approach. The 3000-foot asphalt runway requires precise navigation and consideration of the surrounding terrain, particularly when operating aircraft near the runway's performance limits.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
