This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1972, provides an internal view of the departure lounge at Hilo Airport (now Hilo International Airport) on the Big Island of Hawaii. The archival image captures the vibrant energy of the jet age, with passengers dressed in period-correct early seventies attire—including bold geometric-patterned jumpsuits, floral aloha shirts, and bell-bottom trousers. The interior features classic modular airport seating in shades of white and orange, alongside decorative tropical indoor plants and rustic wood-stump side tables. Hilo Airport is still standing today and remains a vital link for the eastern side of the Big Island, although the terminal interior has been completely remodeled and modernized since the 1970s to meet current security and passenger standards. This factual record preserves the nostalgic “Golden Age” of Hawaiian air travel and the colorful suburban fashion of 1972. All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects – or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
