The airport, which was opened in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaiian in 1927, was named after the famous commander John Rodgers. The airport welcomed flights performed by seaplanes until 1943. The airport, which was allocated to the American army with the outbreak of the Second World War, was reopened to civil flights as Honolulu Airport in 1947. The airport, which started to welcome international flights in 1951, was renamed as Honolulu International Airport. An aviation museum was built within the airport in 1959 to keep the history of Honolulu International Airport alive. The airport is Hawaii's first fully equipped airport and home to many aircrafts.
