PHOG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for OGG in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from OGG's own airspace.
PHOG reported VFR in 98% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 352 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and January the least, with IFR or worse 1% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft under 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles under 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 05 had the best headwind 50% of the time, runway 02 37%, and winds were calm 8% of hours. Winds most often blow from the northeast. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Seasonal hazards are rare at PHOG: thunderstorms on about 1 days a year, fog on 1 and snow on 0. Wind is the main variable, with gusts in 32% of hours.
OGG departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 84% of the time across 25,543 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (94%) and noon to 3 PM did worst (79%).
Field elevation is 55 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 1,647 ft, 1,592 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
