The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) announced that free Wi-Fi is now available at Moloka‘i Airport (MKK). Service through Hawaiian Telcom began April 17, 2025, and is available throughout the terminal.
The fiber optic network infrastructure was installed through HDOT’s HI Connect pilot project, which improved broadband infrastructure along roads in Kalihi, Puna, Ka‘ū, Nānākuli, Wai‘anae, Mākaha and Kapa‘a. The Hawaiian Telcom 1G Fiber network can accommodate video streaming and downloads by multiple users.
“Air travel is a necessity for Moloka‘i residents to access medical care and other resources,” said Senator Lynn DeCoite. “Access to free internet while waiting for flights can help make these essential trips more efficient and comfortable. I appreciate HDOT working to connect Moloka‘i Airport.”
“Wi-Fi has been available at our larger, busier airports since 2018,” said Hawai‘i Department of Transportation Director Ed Sniffen. “Offering this free service at Moloka‘i Airport is part of our efforts to make meaningful, cost-effective improvements at our facilities for local travelers.”
MKK travelers can connect to the network by:
- Turn on Wi-Fi
