Honolulu Is Quietly Becoming America's Most Interesting Airport

Honolulu's airport sits on a coral reef, shares runways with F-22 fighter jets, handles the only US nonstops to American Samoa and the Marshall Islands, and just watched its 96-year-old home airline lose its independence — while its brand-new 787s fly routes from Seattle instead. This is the story of the most extraordinary airport in America that almost nobody talks about, and why it's quietly becoming the most interesting place in US aviation.
