The privately funded $12 million Aloha Air Cargo facility is a key component in upgrades and improvements at the Honolulu Airport. The new facility will consolidate cargo operations, support offices and customer service operations into a single location off of Elliott Street.
Construction on the state’s projects in this area is expected to begin next month.
Upgrades at the airport will include millions of dollars in runway and taxiway improvements, a new commuter terminal, the new mauka concourse, and a consolidated rental car facility.
The program will also include the construction of a new employee parking lot, maintenance hangars, and roadway improvements.
Construction on the new commuter terminal, which will be located on the Diamond Head side of the airport, is expected to begin in the later part of summer 2013.
The air cargo facility is the first step in Hidot’s larger modernization plan for the Honolulu International Airport, which will accommodate the increasing volume of air traffic and meet heightened security requirements.
