Future Development
Kona Airport's master plan, completed in 2010, calls for the addition of a second runway while keeping the option to extend the airport's primary runway to 12,000 feet if required. According to the master plan, the ultimate goal of having two runways would be to maximize the runways' airfield capability and ensure that a runway is always in service if one needs to be closed temporarily for emergencies, maintenance or construction. In addition, a second-level concourse with jetways would be built to better facilitate overseas (U.S. mainland and international) flights.
