CHAPTER 4 FACILITY REQUIREMENTS 4.1 OVERVIEW Chapter 3. The facility requirements are discussed in the following subsections. This chapter identifies the airfield, terminal, ground transportation, and support facilities that 4.2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES are needed at OGG to accommodate the level of Guiding the MP Update are the following goals aircraft operations, passenger movements, and and objectives: other activities forecasted through the year 2035. The facilities identified in this section are 4.2.1 GOALS based on planning criteria established by the The goals of this MP Update are to: FAA for master planning and airport design, and other recognized references on airport planning 1. Provide adequate facilities to accommodate and facilities use. The design objectives or air service demand (forecast growth through “facility requirements” that must be addressed in 2035) while improving LOS, airport safety, the MP Update only focus on areas where security, and enhancing airport access. changes are required that were not addressed in 2. Develop facilities that utilize the current previous MPs. This is due, in part, to the rate of airport property and facilities, are compatible with surrounding land uses, and growth anticipated, as shown in Figure 3-7, in are cost effective. Kahului Airport Master Plan Update 4-1 The objectives of the MP Update are to provide 4.2.3 TERMINAL OBJECTIVES guidance for the development of airport facilities Terminal objectives provide a framework for in a logical and fiscally responsible manner. A improving the passenger ticketing and check-in series of detailed objectives were also developed facilities, baggage claim facilities, gate facilities, to address specific issues related to the airport concessions, and other terminal structure master-planning process and each airport components. The terminal facility objectives are: component. Each objective is a statement about developing the OGG. Accomplished in concert, • Improve LOS for the traveling public in the the detailed objectives will allow the State to terminal complex by maximizing passenger meet the goals for the OGG MP Update. services and minimizing inconveniences in the passenger flow from curbside to The objectives are organized into four (4) airport departure gates and vice versa. master plan components: (1) airfield, (2) terminal, (3) ground transportation, and (4) • Provide a functional and efficiently designed airport support, that will provide a framework for terminal with consideration to the following: improving airport facilities and services. For departing passengers: Add waiting space in the holdrooms at the aircraft 4.2.2 AIRFIELD OBJECTIVES gates. Airfield objectives provide guidelines for For arriving passengers: Clear improving the runways and taxiways at the orientation from the arrival gate to airport.

The hourly capacity is a function of a number of factors including: ceiling and visibility; runway • Organize the ground transportation facilities use patterns (i.e., the proportion of aircraft using to provide sufficient terminal parking, each of the available runways); the type of remote parking, rental car facilities, aircraft that are involved; the split between commercial vehicles, and taxis/vans/shuttles. arrivals and departures; the percent of touch- 4.2.5 AIRPORT SUPPORT OBJECTIVES and-go operations; and the locations and configurations of the exit taxiways.

The hourly capacity during IFR additional OGG airfield facilities was to calculate conditions for the current mix of aircraft and the “hourly capacity” and “annual service airfield facilities is about 51 operations and is volumes” (ASV) of the existing runways using the anticipated to remain constant to year 2035.
