Hawaii Air Arrivals Update for May 5

Yesterday, Tuesday, May 5, 2020, Hawaii air arrivals totaled 773 people including 216 visitors and 286 residents. During this same time last year, nearly 30,000 passengers arrived in Hawaii daily, including residents and visitors. The state’s mandatory 14-day self-quarantine started on March 26 for all passengers arriving in Hawaii from out of state. The quarantine order was expanded on April 1 to include interisland travelers. This table shows the number of people who arrived by air from out of state yesterday and does not include interisland travel.

From March 26 through April 30, there were 23,302 passengers who arrived in Hawaii by air including 4,508 visitors and 8,224 residents. This accounts for changes to the initial daily passenger count based on follow-up calls to the quarantined visitors, some of whom turned out to be intended residents instead of visitors. This table below shows the number of people who arrived by air from out of state from March 26 through April 30 and does not include interisland travel.

Intended Resident = people who are moving to Hawaii such as military members and their families, and former residents who intend to live in Hawaii

Resident = people who have a Hawaii ID

Transit = people who are in transit to another location through Hawaii and aren’t leaving the airport

From March 26 through April 30, there were 4,508 visitors who arrived in Hawaii on flights from out of state. The following table shows what the visitors who arrived during that period indicated as the purpose of their trip. The second table below shows what they indicated as their accommodation. People can choose more than one purpose of trip and type of accommodation. This data was collected from the HTA survey on the back of the Hawaii Agriculture Declaration Form. People are not mandated by law to fill out the survey so some are left blank.
