[edit] Facilities

As a general aviation airport, Port Allen Airport has a single runway, separate parking areas for fixed wing aircraft and helicopters and a public parking area. There are no other public facilities at the airport. Access to the airport is provided by Kaalani Road, which connects the airport with Lolokai Road and Highway 50. The principal planned improvements are the development of helicopter lease lots to the eastern end of the airport, construction of public comfort stations and minor roadway improvements.

[edit] Authority

Port Allen Airport is part of a centralized state structure governing all of the airports and seaports of Hawai'i. The official authority of Port Allen Airport is the Governor of Hawai'i.

Collectively, the six bodies have authority over the four airport districts in Hawai'i: Hawai'i District, Kaua'i District, Mau'i District and the principal O'ahu District.
