About FAA Western-Pacific

The Western-Pacific Region covers the long Pacific coastline plus the Hawaiian and Mariana island groups. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Phoenix Sky Harbor anchor the mainland portion, while Honolulu and Guam serve as the FAA's Pacific transit hubs. The FAA assigns each airport in the United States to one of nine administrative regions; this region's office at Lawndale, CA handles airport certification, safety inspections, federal-grant coordination, and overall coordination with the air-traffic-control facilities physically inside its territory.

For travelers, the most useful thing to know about a region is which of its airports is the closest hub for the trip you are planning, and which secondary or regional airports could spare you a longer drive to the major hub. The featured airports below cover the largest gateways inside the Western-Pacific Region, and the state list below that gives you a way to drill into every public-use airport the region covers.
