I know Hawaii is a tourist destination, but it amazes me that many of the regional airports on the various islands of Hawaii (other than Honolulu), are the same size or larger than Will Rogers. For my honeymoon, I visited Kauai, Hawaii, island population of just under 60,000. Their airport in Lihue has 10 gates, and is very comparable to ours in size and layout. Sure, they have a lot of honeymoon and tourist traffic, but give me a break....10 gates. I promise you they didn't use all of them at once. It amazes me that they can support an airport that size and we cry that we're not sure we can even support the current 15 gate airport we have (yup, it's 15 gates, the the 18 gates they'd like you to believe.......it skips several odd numbers since there aren't any gates on the north side of the main terminal). We have 2 gates for American and so does Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii, yet, we have many more flights a day via American. What gives?
