Remote airstrip serving Tabiteuea North atoll in Kiribati.

Location
Tabiteuea North, Kiribati
Tabiteuea North Airport (IATA: TBF, ICAO: NGTE) is a small domestic airport located on Tabiteuea North, one of the Gilbert Islands in the Republic of Kiribati. It serves as a vital air link for the isolated island community, which is otherwise accessible only by sea. The airport operates limited scheduled services connecting the island to other parts of Kiribati, most notably to South Tarawa, the national capital. Given the remote nature of the atoll and its small population, the airport handles very low passenger volumes and has minimal infrastructure. Tabiteuea North is one of the more populous outer islands of Kiribati, and the airport plays a critical role in providing access to government services, medical facilities, and trade connections for residents who would otherwise face lengthy sea journeys.
Terminals
The airport has a basic, small terminal building typical of outer island airstrips in Kiribati with minimal passenger facilities.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on the island is limited to local vehicles and boats, with no formal taxi or bus service from the airstrip.
