Makalapa Station

Makalapa station (also known as Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam station) is an under construction Skyline station in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, serving Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam. It is being built as part of the second phase of the Skyline route, scheduled to open in mid 2025.

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. The name of this station, Makalapa, means "ridge face" or "ridge front" and refers to the Makalapa crater above the Hālawa flats.
