Work on a runway at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu could lead to interisland flight delays, the state Department of Transportation said.
Starting Wednesday through Dec. 8, the DOT will divert all aircraft arriving and departing at the Honolulu airport to Runway 26L due to ongoing remediation work on Runway 8L. The other three runways will remain open but with less capacity during peak hours.
DOT warned that increased use of Runway 26L could lead to interisland flight delays and more flights over the Ewa plain. The department said it is working with the Federal Aviation Administration and interisland carriers to minimize potential flight schedule disruptions. Travelers are advised to plan accordingly.
Spalling on Runway 8L prompted the need to remove and reconstruct 18 concrete panels within the touchdown area. All work is weather permitting; while removal can be done in the current wet weather, more time may be needed for concrete curing and other activities, the DOT said.
The work will be done at no cost to the state.
