DescriptionKalaeloa Airport, also called John Rodgers Field (the original name of Honolulu International Airport) and formerly Naval Air Station Barbers Point, is a joint civil-military regional airport of the State of Hawaiʻi established on July 1, 1999 to replace the Ford Island NALF facilities which closed on June 30 of the same year. Located on the site of the developing unincorporated town of Kalaeloa and nestled between the Honolulu communities of ʻEwa Beach, Kapolei and Campbell Industrial Park in West Oʻahu, most flights to Kalaeloa Airport originate from commuter airports on the other Hawaiian islands. While Kalaeloa Airport is primarily a commuter facility used by unscheduled air taxis, general aviation and transient and locally based military aircraft, the airport saw first-ever scheduled airline service begin on July 1, 2014, with Mokulele Airlines operating flights to Kahului Airport on Maui. Runways are 04L/22R 4,500 ft 1,372 m Asphalt and
04R/22L 8,000 ft 2,438 m Asphalt
11/29 6,000 ft 1,829 m Asphalt.
NAS Barbers Point was closed by Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) action in the late 1990s, with the Navy aircraft, primarily P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft assigned to squadrons of Patrol Wing Two and SH-60B Seahawk helicopters assigned to Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron Light 37 (HSL-37), relocating to Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay, now Marine Corps Base Hawaii, on the other side of the island. Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point, with its HC-130H Hercules and HH-65 Dolphin helicopters, was a former tenant command at NAS Barbers Point and continues to operate as the remaining military aviation presence at the airfield.

Bespoke ConversionStandard airports in FSCloudPort are created using a 'pre-generated best-fit' method. Runways are not the exact width or length but the closest available from a pre-generated library. Being independent models with conflicting terrain flattening they are also unable to cross over without conflicts. This airport is different. A bespoke conversion has been performed offline and uploaded so that runways are the exact dimensions and the integrated model supports crossing runways. Runways
