Located east of Kahului in Maui County, Kahului Airport serves as the main airport for Maui, Hawaii. Operating full civil flights since 1952, it covers 1,391 acres and is categorized as a medium-hub primary commercial facility. The busy air corridor between Honolulu and Kahului carries heavy passenger traffic, making OGG a vital regional hub for inter-island travel and mainland transpacific flights.
The airport terminal features ground-level ticketing, baggage claim, and USDA agricultural inspection areas. Its main passenger terminal is divided into north and south areas, providing sixteen jetways alongside specialized gates for inter-island and overseas aircraft. Modern amenities include a consolidated rental car facility linked by an electric tram and an air-conditioned waiting area created during terminal expansions.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at OGG
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
