Lelepaua station (also known as Daniel K. Inouye International Airport station) is a Skyline station along Ala Auana Street serving the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. It was built as part of Segment 2 of the Skyline route which opened on October 16, 2025.[1]

The Hawaiian Station Name Working Group proposed Hawaiian names for the twelve rail stations on the eastern end of the rail system (stations in the Airport and City Center segments) in April 2019.[2][3] The name of this station, Lelepaua, means the choice mother of pearl inside the pāua bivalve and refers to a large fishpond and salt production area built by Kaʻihikapu Manuia.[4]
