Hilo Airport was previously known as General Lyman Field. This airport is located in Hawaii and is just 2 miles east of Hilo. This airport has two runways and is accessed by Kekuanoao Avenue. Only one major accident is on file for this airport.

In 1988 one airplane carrying 6 crew members and almost 90 passengers experienced quick decompression while at almost 20 feet and one of the flight attendants was pulled straight out of the plane. The sides were also torn from the plane and several of the passengers experienced life threatening injuries.

The cause of this accident was later found to be due to poor metal used when building the airplane.
