Gateway to the remote Marshall Islands in the Pacific.

Location
Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands
Marshall Islands International Airport (IATA: MAJ, ICAO: PKMJ) serves Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, located in the central Pacific Ocean. It is the country's primary international gateway and handles both passenger and cargo operations connecting the islands to the outside world. The airport sits on a narrow strip of land on the Majuro Atoll, with a single runway that limits operations to smaller commercial and regional aircraft. It plays a critical role in the nation's connectivity, as maritime transport remains the other primary means of reaching the islands. United Airlines provides the key international link, connecting Majuro to Honolulu and Guam. The airport also serves as a hub for domestic inter-island services operated by Air Marshall Islands, facilitating travel among the scattered atolls and islands of the archipelago.
Terminals
The airport operates a single, modest terminal building handling both international and domestic passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport into Majuro's urban area is primarily by taxi or private vehicle along the single road running the length of the atoll.
Airlines here
United Airlines provides primary international service, while Air Marshall Islands operates domestic inter-island routes.
Notable facts
  • The airport's single runway is approximately 7,900 feet long.
  • Majuro Atoll's narrow land area means the runway occupies a significant portion of the island's width.
  • The airport handles United Airlines' Island Hopper route, which connects Honolulu to Guam via multiple Micronesian stops.
  • Air Marshall Islands serves the outer atolls and islands of the country from this hub.
  • The Marshall Islands has one of the lowest elevations of any nation, making the airport vulnerable to sea-level rise.

Marshall Islands International Airport
Encyclopaedia

Marshall Islands International Airport, also known as Amata Kabua International Airport, is located in the western part of Rairok on the south side of Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The airport was built during World War II (1943) on Anenelibw and Lokojbar islets. It replaced Majuro Airfield, a coral-surfaced airstrip at Delap Island near the eastern end of Majuro Atoll that had been originally constructed by Japanese occupation forces in 1942.
