Nighttime maintenance work on ITO runway 8/26  is scheduled to take place at Hilo International Airport (ITO) from 9pm to 5am on April 22 and 23.

The pavement repairs were originally scheduled for April 9-12, but due to heavy rain, crews could not complete the project.

During the closure, which is being done to ensure safety for all aircraft operations, runway 3/21 will be used for aircraft operations.

HDOT has scheduled the work at night to minimize impacts to air travelers and airline operations,.
