Kahului Airport is located along the northern shore of Maui, and passengers can often enjoy beautiful mountain and coastal views departing and arriving at OGG. Once on the ground, the airport is accessible from Route 36, with the Lanui Circle looping around the parking lots in front of the terminal.
OGG’s main terminal is on the northeast side of the airport. All presecurity services and facilities are on 1 level, with baggage claim located at the north end and ticketing at the south end.
A separate commuter terminal is situated at the northernmost point of the ring road, operating flights for Mokulele Express, while all other airlines operate from the main terminal.
Level 1 has a covered, open-sided check-in area just off the terminal roadway. Curbside drop-off and pickup are available close to check-in. Passengers flying to the continental U.S. must clear an agriculture inspection before proceeding to the check-in counters.
The tram stop for access to the rental car center and the terminal parking lots are directly opposite the terminal. Passengers can walk across the pedestrian crossings to access these services.
Baggage claim is also on level 1, at the north end of the main terminal. Visitors have access to a selection of services and facilities, including a Starbucks, information desk, and ground transportation.
Read our guide on traveling to Maui and Kauai for information on beaches, attractions, accommodations, and transport.
Once passengers have checked in, they can proceed to the security checkpoint up the escalators at the northern end of check-in.
After security, there’s a central concourse area with restaurants and shops. To the right are 8 gates numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. There are only 2 restaurants down this gate area, with more options in the central area.
To the left of the central area, there are 12 gates numbered 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, and 39. There are a few shops and restaurants and a Premier Club Lounge opposite gate 17.
The commuter terminal is approximately 500 feet from the main terminal, serving interisland flights for Mokulele Airlines and Makani Kai Air. Apart from restrooms, this small terminal has very few facilities, so passengers can visit the Starbucks in the main terminal for a bite to eat before passing through security.
Dedicated short- and long-term parking is available outside the commuter terminal. Passengers can walk between the 2 terminals via the outdoor pedestrian walkways.
OGG is not a huge airport, and there are no buses or automated people movers to get around. Once inside the secure area of the main terminal, passengers can walk between all gates.
From the central area of the concourse, it’s a 6- to 10-minute walk to the furthest gates. There are no moving walkways, so any passengers with mobility issues should speak to their airline for assistance.
It takes a couple of minutes to walk to the commuter terminal from the baggage claim end of the main terminal.

Information desks are located in the baggage claim area and the central area of the terminal. If the desks are not staffed, call 808-872-3893 for assistance.

Head northwest on South Kihei Road or Piilani Highway. Turn right onto Mokulele Highway toward Kahului (it becomes Puunene Avenue). At the intersection with Dairy Road, turn right. Cross Hana Highway, where the road becomes Keolani Place, and continue for about 1.5 miles to reach the terminal facility.
Short- and long-term parking is available in the large surface lot opposite the terminal. Passengers can walk between the parking lot and the terminal in just a few minutes via the pedestrian walkways that cross the terminal road.
There’s a small surface lot outside the commuter terminal that is available for prepaid parking only. These are the parking rates for both the main terminal and commuter terminal parking lots:
There is no parking or waiting permitted at the curb outside the airport terminal, so noncommercial drivers can use the cell phone lot when waiting for passengers. The cell phone lot is located at 901 Palapala Drive, Kahului, HI 96732, just a few minutes’ drive from the terminal. Alternatively, the first 15 minutes are free in the terminal parking lot.
