A new runway (15/33) to the west of the current runway is being planned, and will be 2,600 metres in length to accommodate larger aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747.[3] Once built, the older (current) runway will become a taxiway. There are also plans for a new terminal to be built (and likely replace the current departure and arrival buildings).[4] This project will be completed by 2015.[needs update] The headquarters of Ewa Air are located on the airport property.[5]
Cyclone Chido severely damaged the airport in December 2024.[6]
