Looks like the state has backed off on this a bit. Instead of completing it as a full terminal they're just going to build a shell that can be completed later. Apparently this space was only to be for Island Air, with Mokulele being moved away from the existing terminal to a site near the United cargo facility.

This wouldn't have been optimal for Mokulele as it would have made connections to long-haul flights more difficult. Now that things have changed with Island Air going bust, maybe Mokulele could take the space under gate 6?
