This article attempts to combine isolated incidents into an overall problem with aviation safety. However, having flown into OGG multiple times, I think this is another example of the typical extreme wind shear/turbulence at this airport and not connected to wider issues. I was in a SW flight that bounced twice and aborted while attempting to land. The airport is located in a difficult location given the high winds that wrap around Haleakala. An older airport a few miles to the south and Maui's first civilian airport, Puunene, was abandoned due to these problems (after racking up an impressive number of killed naval aviators in its wartime role as an USN training field).
