Maui Airport is busy enough that generic airport advice is not enough. The useful question is not only when to arrive, but when to leave from your actual starting point. For OGG, that means working backward from your flight time and adding the local details that can change the trip: Hana Highway, Haleakala Highway, Lahaina-side travel, rental-car return and visitor traffic, terminal choice, parking or rideshare access, transit schedules, checked bags, TSA PreCheck and the larger buffer often needed for international departures.
Operational details can change, so verify your terminal and travel schedule before departure.
Each example is illustrative, not live traffic guidance. The assumptions are shown so you can see the calculation and replace them with your own details above.

At OGG, plan around Hana Highway, Haleakala Highway, Lahaina-side travel, rental-car return and visitor traffic, ogg uses a main terminal and commuter areas, with mainland, interisland and commuter trips following different patterns.
