[edit] picture?
Should we include a pictur of the wiki wiki bus? One has already been uploaded to wikipedia here:
And is in use on only one article. Considering the fact that the link between "wiki" and the "wiki-wiki bus" isn't as strong as the link between the wiki-wiki bus and the Honolulu International Airport, I say we put the picture here. The only problem is that i dont know where to put it in the article where it is both relevant and does not majorly affect the overall layout, so I leave it up to someone else more knowledgeable of the airport than I am to do it so that I dont mess up the article. --JoeBlowfromKokomo 01:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- If we're going to have a picture of a Wiki Wiki bus, my preference would be to have one of a bus itself rather than a sign. I'm not in HNL at the moment so I can't go take one and add it... -- Hawaiian717 15:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- Just found one that's CC-BY-SA licensed on Flickr; I've uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons and added it to the article. -- Hawaiian717 16:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki-wiki bus
In 1983 and 1984, I passed through Honolulu a few times, on the way to a work assignment on the island of Kauai. I remember the inter-terminal buses, older vehicles whose sign board read "Wiki-wiki," or "(goes) quickly." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.175.225.5 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 26 October 2005 (UTC-7)
[edit] Pan Am accident?
The "Aviation Safety" database does not mention an accident of a Pan Am 747 on the date mentioned. It does, however, report a sabotage incident from earlier in 1982, when a Pan Am 747 inbound from Narita, Japan, landed safely after a bomb under a seat killed that passenger, punched a hole in the floor (not the hull), and damaged the overhead.

I removed the Pan Am 747 disaster as I was also unable to verify it. If anyone wants to put that back in, please include a flight number. I will see if I can find info on the sabatoge that you have mentioned when I have a chance. Thomasdelbert 15:24, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- I just created a stub about the bombing. I verified several sources, and the flight number was Pan Am Flight 830. -- AirOdyssey (Talk) 04:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] HNL seaplane runways?
The FAA diagram for HNL shows 2 offshore "runways" for seaplanes in addition to the four terrestrial ones - 4W/22W, 3000' long and 150' wide, and 8W/26W, 5000' long and 300' wide. (These are, of course, parallel to the main runways.) Are these still in use, and if so, should the article note them?
Dan 17:52, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- Seaplanes are seen around Oahu from time to time. As the FAA diagram still shows them, I feel they should be in the article, so I added a mention of them. -- Hawaiian717 23:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Hey, they're legit runways -Nweinthal
[edit] go!
204.210.121.34 added go! to the list of airlines in the Interisland Terminal, which I've removed. They haven't signed a lease yet, and their website states their location as the Commuter Terminal, however the HNL map on their site shows them in Hawaiian's gate area in the Interisland Terminal [1]. Until we get something definite, I think we should leave them out. -- Hawaiian717 18:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
- Per [2], I've added go! to the Commuter Terminal -- Hawaiian717 16:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Passenger Traffic
How many passengers does it handle? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BoricuaPR (talk • contribs) 20:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC-8)
Over 20,000,000 interisland, domestic, and international passengers passed through HNL in 2005. This figure peaked in 1996, when 24,326,737 passengers passed through HNL.

If you're looking for a total capacity per year - I don't have this information yet.

[edit] Accidents section
I condensed the section about the incidents and accidents at HNL. On most airport articles, this is a very compact page, shortly describing the article, and pointing to a main link to provide more details. I also added Pan Am Flight 830, as mentioned above. -- AirOdyssey (Talk) 04:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Terminal section
Section was rearranged by lobby number order and by terminal (since Lobby 1 is the commuter terminal, it was listed first). The new look gives this section a less cluttered feel and provides a general description of how airline check-in counters are grouped at this particular airport.

[edit] Omni International (OY)
I've been monitoring Honolulu's Flight Information Display System for the past two days. It seems that Omni has service from Honolulu to Fukuoka, Japan. The destination section has been updated to reflect this. Not sure if this service is temporary or regular. Updates to occur as information changes.

[edit] Picture of PHNL Control Tower
Isn't PHNL's control tower located in the center of field (as per the aiport diagram: PHNL Airport Diagram? I believe the building pictured houses the airport beacon but I'm unsure what types of operations if any are held there.

[edit] HNL Garden Area
Surely one of the most distinctive parts of the HNL airport is the open garden area. No mention is made of the garden area (and in fact, judging by how seldom people venture to the garden, I would say that most people don't know that they are allowed to visit and enjoy the garden), nor is any mention made of the open-air walkways throughout the airport. Are these not worthy of mention? Artvarck (talk) 17:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jetstar Flight Schedule
I took out Melbourne as a destination, as this is currently operated only as a through flight with a stop in Sydney. Here's the reference [3]. I think destinations should be limited to nonstop destinations. If you start including connecting destinations, this article will get very messy. Alenag25 (talk) 03:48, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Alenag25
- While I'd be inclined to agree that only nonstop destinations should be included, WP:AIRPORT guidelines state that direct flights that continue to another city with the same flight number should be included so I've reverted your change. If you want to change the guideline, you'll have to bring it up at the project's talk page. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 16:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Good point. I stand corrected. 76.172.88.8 (talk) 08:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Alenag25
[edit] Aeromexico
Anonymous editors keep adding Aeromexico as serving HNL from Mexico City effective September 2008, without providing a source. A Google News search turns up nothing, and I don't see anything on the airline's web site about it. To anyone who is tempted to add this again, please provide a source for this planned service along with the plan that the airline will use Lobby 4 at HNL. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 16:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
