the car rental center thing is a complete Hawaii DOT boondoogle in my opinion. no idea why they need it here. This is not a big city airport.

What about other alternatives, like building a new runway parallel to the existing 2/20? Wouldn't that be less disruptive than the other options, or what about night construction and replace in place?

The EIS is going to take forever, none of these options are going to happen any time soon.

But you're talking common sense and politicians don't understand that

Agree about the EIS and there shouldn't even be one since it's ALREADY an airport.

But the usual suspects will gum it up I'm sure. I still say extending the main runway and putting a short extension on the other is the pono way go.
