ITO – Official State of Hawaii Website
Hilo International Airport is located on the east side of the Island of Hawaii. It is served by interisland airlines. The Big Island is home to active volcanoes, orchid farms, waterfalls and a rugged coast line.
Why is Hilo Airport called ITO?
The airport was designated ITO after one of the first Hawaiian Airlines Hilo Airport station managers by the name of “Mr. Ito”. The airport was designated ITO because both ILO (Mandurriao Airport in Iloilo,Philippines) and HIL (Shillavo Airport in Ethiopia) were already taken. ITO sounded a lot like Hilo.
