Travelers repeatedly stranded on island outside international airport

A certified commercial pilot, Ashmore used his time in line to pull up the FAA's Notice to Airmen to check KOA's real-time status. He said the notice said that the airport's runway was closing at 10:30 p.m. for ongoing construction. Since 2024, KOA's sole runway has repeatedly closed as the Hawaii Department of Transportation, or HDOT, works on repairs and reconstruction. To allow workers onto the airfield, HDOT closes the runway every night, which means redeye flights are subject to a sharp cutoff for departures.
