Small island gateway serving the Northern Mariana Islands.

Location
Tinian Island, Northern Mariana Islands
Francisco Manglona Borja / Tinian International Airport, designated with IATA code TIQ and ICAO code PGWT, serves Tinian Island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). The airport provides essential air connectivity for this small island community in the western Pacific Ocean. Tinian is historically significant as the island from which the United States launched its atomic bomb missions during World War II, and the airport sits in a region that reflects this layered military and civilian history. The facility supports limited scheduled and charter services, primarily connecting Tinian to nearby Saipan and other CNMI destinations. The airport operates at a modest scale commensurate with Tinian's small resident population and limited tourism infrastructure, handling light passenger traffic and some general aviation operations.
Terminals
The airport has a small, single terminal facility appropriate for its low passenger volumes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Tinian is limited, with rental cars and taxis available to reach the island's small towns and resorts.
Airlines here
Star Marianas Air has historically provided inter-island service connecting Tinian to Saipan and other nearby islands.
