Is Flying to Maui Airport safe?
It might sound surprising, but I am often asked this question. Probably because Maui feels so far away... somewhere close to paradise!
Fortunately, even if Maui Hawaii is a remote island, it's part of the United States. Flying to Maui Airport from your local airport should be a pretty safe and comfortable trip. Nothing to worry about.
