> I wonder how many airports in the world are at such significant risk of "lava flow" and other catastrophic natural disasters

It looks like Kilauea lava flows in the 1880s came within a mile or two of the site of Hilo International Airport. Lava flows earlier this year were heading in that direction.

It also appears as though the airport was hit by tsunamis in the 1950s and 1960s.
