Hilo Airports & Ground Transportation
One big question for travelers is which Hilo airport to fly into. Here’s a quick guide to Hilo’s airports and how to get to the city from each:
Hilo International Airport (ITO)
Welcome to Hilo International Airport, your gateway to the Big Island's eastern charm! Situated just a couple of miles from Hilo, reaching the city is a breeze with readily available taxis, ride-sharing services, and rental cars. The airport offers a relaxed, open-air atmosphere where you can soak in the Hawaiian vibes as soon as you step off the plane.

Other airports
While Hilo International Airport (ITO) is your gateway to the city, consider Kona International Airport (KOA) on the west side of the Big Island, or even smaller regional airports.
