sDOT-A Guiding Documents

To carry out the sDOT-A program values and objectives, DOT-A has developed guiding documents for individual airport reference. These guiding documents represent the place-based value system of the sDOT-A program; used together, these resources empower Hawai‘i’s airports to cultivate best practices within their respective districts.
