The extended runway-improvement construction at HNL Airport has begun and this work will continue over several years. At the very least during this period we need to: anticipate taxi instructions that may be unfamiliar; have an airport diagram available at all times so as to be certain of our taxi instructions and routings; and be prepared to immediately stop and request clarification or progressive taxi instructions any time a pilot might become uncertain of their position on the airport. Just a quick reminder, our controllers would much prefer to provide progressive taxi instructions than to deal with a Surface Incident or Runway Incursion. The flip side of that coin is that for a pilot, requesting progressive taxi instructions is also LOT better than dealing with an incident or Runway Incursion. Stay safe out there.

New Toll-Free Number for Alaska Pilots
New Toll-Free Number for Alaska Pilots A new toll-free number is available for pilots in Alaska. Pilots can now call 1-(833) 252-7433 (AK-Brief) to connect with an Alaska Flight Service hub facility. Previously, some pilots faced difficulties reaching Flight Service when calling 1-800-WX-BRIEF due to network provider issues. The new Alaska-specific number was implemented for easy access and to ensure reliable connectivity. Alaska’s regional hubs — Juneau (JNU), Fairbanks (FAI), and Kenai (ENA) — will continue to operate with their existing toll-free and local numbers. Pilots using the new number can select which hub to call. We encourage Alaska pilots
