About This Airport

Pacific Air Cargo's freighters lift off Sand Island for the US mainland, and they are only the headline act at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), Hawaii's dominant air-freight gateway. The same handler serves Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines, Japan Airlines, Kalitta and Qantas, while Aloha Air Cargo threads Boeing 767s and 737s through an overnight network to the neighbor islands and FedEx, UPS and United fill the ramp. Roughly 623,000 US tons of cargo moved through in 2025 across more than 450,000 square feet of warehouse and over a million square feet of apron, much of it Asian freight transferring mid-Pacific. Perishables – reef fish, cut flowers, tropical fruit – fly, while heavy boxes sail: Matson and Pasha containerships at neighboring Honolulu Harbor give the airport a rare sea-air interface. Foreign-Trade Zone 9, anchored by a Pier 2 warehouse, lets shippers defer or avoid duty on the spot. Sharing its runways with Hickam as Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HNL is also a Pacific military airlift point. With no freight railroad anywhere in the islands, this airport is the genuine backbone of Hawaiian trade.
