Private JetCharter to Honolulu
Flying into Honolulu, Hawaii through Daniel K Inouye International and 2 alternate fields. Operators bid on your trip without knowing who is flying it.
Arrival
Landing at Honolulu
Honolulu sits in Hawaii at 21.32 degrees north, 157.92 degrees west. Charter traffic works through Daniel K Inouye International, PHNL.
You have 3 fields to choose between: Daniel K Inouye International (PHNL), Kahului Maui (PHOG) and Ellison Onizuka Kona (PHKO). They are not interchangeable. Runway length decides which aircraft can use each one, customs facilities decide which can take an international arrival, and ground transfer time to your actual destination often matters more than either.
Ask any operator to confirm three things for your date before you commit: ramp and overnight parking availability, customs hours if you are arriving internationally, and whether the aircraft they are offering has an approved crew for the field. The third one catches people out at terrain constrained airports where the operator needs a specific qualification.
