Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport (KOA)

19° 44.3′ N · 156° 2.7′ W

The Kona side's airport at Keahole, about 7 miles north of Kailua and 5 miles from Honokohau Harbor: the place for crew changes and parts flown in.

Practical

Coordinate from Wikipedia. Address 73-200 Terminal Drive (OpenStreetMap). Coast Pilot: the airport is prominent from seaward 1.2 miles east-northeast of Keahole Point, and the aerobeacon on its 65-ft control tower is more conspicuous at night than Keahole Point Light. Rental cars at the airport are the practical way to provision and sightsee from Honokohau.
