## Description

The cargo at Hana is essentially nil: this tiny field (IATA: HNM, ICAO: PHHN) at the end of the winding Road to Hana, in remote east Maui, exists to keep an isolated community connected. Mokulele Airlines, operated by Southern Airways Express, flies Cessna Grand Caravans to Kahului in about 25 minutes over roughly 43 kilometres, but the schedule is thin and seasonally adjusted, so it should be confirmed with the carrier before anything is planned around it. No freight operation runs here — there is no freighter service and no cargo terminal, and a Grand Caravan's payload covers little beyond small parcels and mail. Goods for the Hana district come in through Kahului (OGG) and are trucked out along the Hana Highway, a narrow and twisting road that effectively rules out full-size tractor-trailers and stretches delivery times. For air freight to and from Hawaii, Honolulu (HNL) is the real gateway, with freighter operations and customs clearance, complemented by ocean freight through Kahului Harbor. As a domestic US location, shipments from the mainland need no customs entry, though Hawaii's agricultural inspection rules apply in both directions.
