Kapalua Airport (IATA: JHM, ICAO: PHJH, FAA LID: JHM), also known as Kapalua–West Maui Airport, is a regional private use airport on the west side of the island of Maui in Hawaii. It is located five nautical miles (6 mi, 9 km) north of Lahaina, in Maui County. Most flights to Kapalua Airport originate from commuter airports on the other Hawaiian islands by commercial commuter services, unscheduled air taxis, and general aviation.
Named for the Kapalua Resort a few miles to the north, the airport replaced the Kaanapali Airport, which had an even shorter runway, in 1987 to allow valuable coastal land to be developed. The airport code name JHM stands for John Henry Magoon, who was president of Hawaiian Airlines when that airline developed the airport. Hawaiian operated de Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7 turboprop aircraft on flights to Honolulu. The STOL capable, four-engine, 50-passenger Dash 7 was the largest aircraft ever to operate scheduled passenger flights from the airport. Hawaiian discontinued service to Kapalua when the Dash 7 was retired from its fleet in 1994.

This is the first airport I've purchased from Northern Sky Studio (NSS) but after seeing the attention to detail in this airport I've become an instant fan of NSS! They have not only done a great job of modeling the exteriors of the terminal building but they also modeled the entire interior down to the details including "This Week in Maui" booklets hanging on the wall! I've never seen such fine details in MSFS scenery! There are plenty of extras around the parking ramp and outside the buildings, giving "life" to the airport surroundings! The 3D models and textures are well done. Outstanding job NSS! You can't beat the price of this add-on considering the level of detail, so buy it now!
