The Hawaii Tourism Authority reports that on Sunday, 17 visitors, 3 “intended residents,” and 20 residents came to Kona from out of state. Statewide there were 246 visitors (14 to Maui, 215 to O’ahu), 80 “intended residents” (1 to Maui, 76 to O’ahu) and a total of 334 residents.
HTA provided more detail about those who arrived on O’ahu as visitors. That chart is at the bottom.
The chart below shows out of state flights that arrived on Sunday. The Kona Airport had one commercial flight, the Delta flight from Los Angeles International Airport. HTA spokeswoman Marisa Yamane, in response to an inquiry how the Kona Airport could have had 3 flights with only 2 crew members, she said if private plane crew members just drop their passengers at the airport and then take off but don’t get off the plane, they are not counted.
