Kona Airport KOA/PHKO was closed at 4:20 PM yesterday after a section of runway located approximately mid-field showed significant cracks and degradation. All inbound flights were diverted, primarily to Honolulu.
Overnight, repair crews milled and graded the approximately 10' x 10' section and the airport is scheduled to reopen this morning.
Look, it's been swell, but the swelling's gone down.
