This is a busy island airport with jet traffic. Signature Aviation is on the field and carries Jet A and Jet A Prist. Big Island Jet Center is on the field and carries Jet A and Jet A Prist. Atlantic Aviation is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A. Jet fuel and 100 octane fuel are available daily from 0800 to 1700. Other times need prior arrangements. Wide-body aircraft must contact the tower before engine start. Jet aircraft on the cargo and south ramp must also contact ATC before engine start.
A few operational items matter here. There is terrain obstruction at the runway 17 end. Migratory bird activity occurs within 5 NM of the airport. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 120.3 for airport rescue and fire fighting. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
