HNL is the largest airport in the State of Hawaii and is located in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. From Honolulu you can fly to all of the Hawaiian islands.

The airport is proudly named after Hawaii’s late Senator Inouye. Senator Daniel K. Inouye was the second longest serving member of the U.S. Senate prior to his death, with a distinguished tenure of more than 49 years. As president pro tempore from 2010-2012—third in line of presidential succession—Dan Inouye was the highest-ranking public official of Asian descent in United States history. He served for decades on the Commerce and Appropriations Committees which had jurisdiction over aviation, the Federal Aviation Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Hawaii benefitted from his leadership. Daniel K. Inouye Institute
