A photo history of the Lihue Airport
Off the Remember Kauai From the Past Facebook page
Lihue Airport under construction in 1949. Prior to its opening, flights to Kauai used Port Allen Airport. From the Hawaii Department of Transportation.
Plans for the airport originally included a north-south cross runway, which is seen under early construction here. The work was later stopped; second runway wouldn’t be built until almost forty years later.
