A crack in the runway at Kona International Airport shut it down for about 90 minutes, disrupting travel for passengers heading to the Big Island.

• The runway was closed after crews found a crack in the pavement.
• Three flights had to land in Kahului on Maui instead.
• Repair crews patched the crack the same afternoon and normal operations resumed.
• Kona is the main gateway for West Hawaii, so even a short closure backs up island travel.

Outlook: Flights are running again, though a closer look at the runway's condition is likely.
