Washington Island Airstrip (IATA: TNQ, ICAO: PLWN) serves Teraina, a remote coral atoll in the northern Line Islands of Kiribati. The airstrip provides the primary means of air access to this isolated community, which has very limited connections to the outside world. The facility is a basic, unpaved or lightly paved airstrip with minimal infrastructure, typical of remote Pacific island airfields. Air travel is essential for medical emergencies, government operations, and occasional cargo delivery to the island's small population. Teraina, historically known as Washington Island, is part of Kiribati's Line Islands group and lies far north of the main Kiribati islands. Scheduled services, when available, have historically been operated by Air Kiribati or government-chartered aircraft.
