  • ITO Airport Overview
    Hilo International ITO Airport is located two miles east of Hilo, Hawaii - on the Big Island's rainy eastern shore. To get to the Airport use Highway 11 (Hawaii Belt Road/Kanoelehua Av.) from either the North or South; turn east onto Airport Road (Kekuanaoa Street) and drive east about two miles. The small airport is served by inter-island airlines. The passenger terminal complex is at the southern edge of the airport and has information desks located at several points, staffed 6am-9:30pm daily, as well as a restaurant, cocktail lounge, gift shop and newsstand. Hilo Airport also serves as a general aviation airport. From the Airport, you can reach your vacation spot by taxi or by renting a car from one of its eight rental car agencies. A handful of hotels also run airport shuttles, but there is no public shuttle to downtown Hilo. The Big Island's main attraction is the Kilauea Volcano and its pristine beaches. It is the least populated and the largest island in the Hawaiian island chain.

    Use the free Cell Phone Lot for up to one hour if you are picking up an arriving passenger. Stay with your car until your party has called you to be picked up at the curb. Other parking is also available. Automatic ticket dispensers issue parking tickets at the entrance to the parking area - present the ticket to the cashier as you exit--make sure to have your ticket, cash or credit card ready. Also, write down the lot, level and location of your car on your ticket and take it with you--don't leave it on your car's dashboard.
