In thinking and looking at it some more, extending Runway 5-23 and landing large commercial jets on

The DOT says the economic impact of a complete shutdown for two months of all wide-body walking tours new orleans aircraft could result in a large reduction in tourists (50%, HTA figure) and potentially cost up to $350 million (Department of Business, Economic Development Tourism figure). Subsequent options are designed to mitigate or eliminate the cost to the local economy.
The issue is to be discussed walking tours new orleans in a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Pomaikai Elementary School Cafeteria ( note: this story was published 1/23/2012, this meeting has since taken place) , where options will be presented. The community will have an opportunity to have input in the decision.
It s kind of related.  That photo is a the proposal for a new rental car facility.  2 of these plans involve extending the runway into the area where the rental car ltos currently are.  They need a new place to put the Rental Car companies
They should create a new runway mauka of the heliport or there abouts.  Once it is operating, repair the old one.  No disruption.  A more mauka runway would be further away from ocean related issues like Tsunamis, salt spray and high flying kite surfers.
While your at it, why not construct a new terminal with access walking tours new orleans from  Haleakala Highway side of Hana Highway.  Dairy Rd. is insane.  Straighten Hansen Rd. and traffic will be spread out more evenly.
They need to extend and widen BOTH runways.  The idea of creating another runway mauka of the helipad is not a bad idea.  Also, access to the airport from Halekakala highway.  Also the road behind Home Depot should go straight through walking tours new orleans to the airport with a fly over Hana Highway.
There is a plan to create an airport access rd. that would run from Puunene Ave. where Dairy Rd. intersects, straight into the airport going over Hana Highway.  The corridor between walking tours new orleans Maui Harley Davidson and Wallmart is where it s supposed to go and starts ramping up right behind the firestation.
I think we should build a third runway. walking tours new orleans Continue landing wide-body aircrafts on 2-20 until the third runway is complete. Upon completion, repair runway 2-20. Once the expansion occurs we can expand the concourse and add new gates and new restaurants, walking tours new orleans which will bring over more tourists. More tourist means more business. More business means more taxes paid. Maui is inevitably going to expand, why waste so much time, energy and money resisting. Build the third runway. We are going to do it eventually anyways
There should be a 4th Option Zero time down for wide body aircraft landings, and less extension of of Runway 5-23 toward the rental cars and more extension of it toward the north end.  Or Zero time down for wide body aircraft landings, and a new parallel runway to Runday 2-20 to the East of it, possibly meaning moving the Private terminal over to Runway 5-23.Also, walking tours new orleans the presentation did not mention or show anything about flight path of the large jets in landing on an extended Runway 5-23.  That flight path is going to bring the jets in at low altitude right over Kahului when landing.  Presently they come in over the cane fields and are low at the Highway to the Runway.  Runway 2-20 is positioned that way for a reason because of the prevailing wind direction. walking tours new orleans  Having spoken to commercial pilots many times, walking tours new orleans I would be curious what they think of the likely ground and wind conditions of trying to land regularly at Runway 5-23 with a strong cross wind.  The presentation did not mention anything about pilots being consulted on the details of landing and taking off regularly from Runway 5-23.  People in the crowd seem to be jumping prematurely at Option 3.  Option 3 s main redeeming characteristic by the crowd s reaction is that it involves zero time down for wide body aircraft landings.  Otherwise, DOT needs to come up with some better options that incorporate that.
In thinking and looking at it some more, extending Runway 5-23 and landing large commercial jets on it would additionally create safety conflicts with the Kanaha Pond Waterfowl Refuge.  The birds there would be unsafe to the jets, esp. when the winds are Kona and the jets would be taking off toward the pond, and would be unsafe to the birds all the time as the new jet pathway would be passing through the bird refuge at low altitude every few minutes.  This has not been well thought out by the DOT.Further, looking closely at it, a better alternative is that there is room on the East side of Runway 5-20 to have a second parallel runway over there.  It would require moving the private terminal over to the present Runway 5-23.  The helicopters would also need to be moved, but they might be somewhere other than Runway 5-23.  This could be done without ever closing down a long runway for the large commercial walking tours new orleans jets.  DOT s 3 Options presented so far are not well thought out and varied enough to solve all of the demands of this project.
We own a vacation rental in Kihei and closing the runway for 2 months would be terrible .but then again, I would not want something terrible to happen.  I think by them proposing either:  smaller aircraft into Kanapalli (sp) or having transporation walking tours new orleans by boat/ship walking tours new orleans available between Oahu and Maui.
Do the least expensive repair because it won t make any difference.  Visitor arrivals will continue to drop if car rental costs, fees, and taxes continue to go up.  Right now we are seeing $875 for one week economy car rental in February.  This rental fee is way out of line.
to build a school and housing directly below the air strip so it would make an even higher risk and bigger walking tours new orleans safety issue.  Wish they would develope some valuable land first and leave a safety corridor around the air strip.
