Līhu‘e Airport implements temporary passenger pickup changes during construction
The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation said the pickup area in front of Baggage Claim A at Līhuʻe Airport reopened on Monday, Oct. 19. It had been closed since mid-February for new asphalt, curbs, lane markings, signs and ADA improvements.
The same work now moves to the pickup area in front of Baggage Claim B, which closed the same day. While that construction runs, expected until April 2027, all passenger pickups go to the Baggage Claim A area.
The work is part of a larger project to pave the airport's 2.3-acre employee overflow lot. When finished, it will hold up to 347 vehicles, about 117 more stalls, so some spaces in the main employee lot can be used for public parking at peak times.
Key points
- Pickups now at Baggage Claim A only
- Baggage Claim B pickup closed until about April 2027
