Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to Kahului

Arriving at Kahului Airport via private jet charter transforms the journey into an extension of the Maui luxury experience from the moment you land. Private travellers benefit from dedicated general aviation ramps, expedited customs and immigration processing, and the ability to deplane steps from a waiting vehicle — eliminating the delays inherent in commercial terminals. OGG’s 9,000-foot primary runway comfortably accommodates heavy and ultra-long-range jets, making non-stop transatlantic and transpacific arrivals entirely feasible. Flexible scheduling means departures align with your itinerary rather than an airline’s timetable, ensuring every hour on Maui is spent exactly as intended.

About Kahului Airport

Kahului Airport (OGG / PHOG) has served as Maui’s primary air gateway since the mid-twentieth century, evolving from a modest inter-island facility into a full-service international airport operated by the Hawaii Department of Transportation. The airport handles a broad spectrum of aircraft, from turboprops and light jets used on inter-island hops to wide-body airliners and long-range business jets arriving from the US mainland and beyond. General aviation operations are supported by dedicated ramp areas separate from commercial concourses, affording private passengers a discreet and efficient arrival experience. US Customs and Border Protection facilities on site enable international private arrivals to clear formalities swiftly, without commuting to a separate port of entry. The airport’s coastal setting and clear Pacific approaches make it operationally straightforward for flight crews, with excellent year-round weather reliability.
