Abercrombie Releases $75M for Honolulu Airport CIP

News Release from www.Hawaii.gov/gov

Governor Neil Abercrombie today announced the release of more than $75.3 million for various Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) at Honolulu International Airport, the state’s primary hub for air travel.

 “These priority projects are necessary steps to prepare the Honolulu International Airport, one of our state’s most visible and vital parts of our transportation infrastructure, to meet growing demand from business, visitor and kama'aina travelers,” said Governor Abercrombie.  “These investments will further result in more opportunities for quality work for our Hawai'i residents.”

Honolulu International Airport covers 4,520 acres and is larger than Waikiki. The airport is served by 27 international and domestic carriers, three interisland airlines, and four commuter airlines. At any given hour, about 10,000 passengers, employees or visitors are at Honolulu International Airport. In addition to the airport’s 550 employees, more than 14,000 people work at the airport and another 20,000 depend on the airport for their livelihood.
