Gateway to the Federated States of Micronesia's capital island.

Location

Pohnpei Island, Federated States of Micronesia

Pohnpei International Airport (IATA: PNI, ICAO: PTPN) serves Pohnpei Island, the capital of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is the primary international gateway for the FSM and handles both passenger and cargo operations. The airport sits on a reclaimed land area adjacent to Kolonia, the island's main town, and features a single runway. It plays a critical role in connecting the remote island to regional hubs in Guam and Honolulu, as well as other Micronesian islands. Given the island's remote location, the airport is essential for tourism, government, and humanitarian logistics. It has received infrastructure improvements over the years, partly funded by U.S. Compact of Free Association agreements.
