Hana Airport (IATA: HNMICAO: PHHN) is a regional airport of the State of Hawai'i on the east shore of the island of Mau'i, three miles (5 km) northwest of the unincorporated town of Hana. The airport covers 119 acres and has one runway. It is primarily a commuter facility used by unscheduled air taxis and general aviation, but is also served by one commercial airline. Service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.

As air traffic increases, the Hawai'i State Legislature will consider future improvements including the construction of a taxiway paralleling the runway, widening of access roads and expansion of passenger terminals and parking facilities.
