Hawaii's Kawaihāpai Airfield Gets New Half-century Lease
Army-owned Kawaihāpai Airfield is located on the northern coast of Oahu

The U.S. Army and the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) have signed an agreement on a new 50-year lease at Kawaihāpai Airfield (PHDH)—formerly Dillingham Airfield—located on Oahu's north shore. While the field is owned and operated by the Army and used for military training, the vast majority of its traffic is general aviation and is served by FBO North Shore Aviation Services.

HDOT noted that PHDH is leased for civilian recreational purposes and it is home to businesses catering to visitors and local patrons, providing glider flying, free-fall parachuting, sightseeing, and occasional trips to neighboring islands.
