About Kalaeloa Airport

Overview

Kalaeloa Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Kapolei, Hawaii, serving general aviation and local transportation needs. Situated at an elevation of 30 feet MSL, the airport offers three asphalt runways that accommodate various aircraft operations. Its strategic location near Honolulu provides an important alternative to the busier nearby airports.

Weather conditions at Kalaeloa are predominantly VFR, with 90.5% of observations showing clear flying conditions. Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 6 knots, with occasional peaks up to 22 knots, characterize the airport's wind profile. Temperature ranges from 13°C to 33°C, with an average of 24.3°C, creating generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways: 04L/22R at 4,500 feet, 04R/22L at 8,000 feet, and 11/29 at 6,000 feet. All runways are constructed of asphalt and provide multiple approach options. The airport experiences minimal meteorological challenges, with only 1.2% of observations reporting IFR conditions and a very low occurrence of fog (0.1% of observations).
