Arorae Island Airport (IATA: AIS, ICAO: NGTR) is a small domestic airstrip located on Arorae Island, the southernmost inhabited atoll in Kiribati, in the central Pacific Ocean. It serves as a vital link between this remote community and the rest of the country, given that sea travel between the islands is lengthy and often impractical. The airport supports essential air services connecting Arorae to South Tarawa, the capital of Kiribati. Infrastructure is minimal, consistent with the limited resources and small population of the atoll. Air travel is the primary means of rapid communication and passenger transport for the island's residents.
