Pohnpei International Airport

Pohnpei International Airport (PNI) is the main air gateway to Pohnpei Island in the Federated States of Micronesia, built partly on reclaimed coral reef land near the town of Kolonia. PNI serves as a key stop on United Airlines' island-hopper route across Micronesia, connecting Guam and Hawaii with other remote Pacific islands like Chuuk, Kosrae, and Majuro. The airport is vital for Pohnpei's economy, tourism, and access to medical and government services, given the island's isolation. Its single runway accommodates mid-size jet aircraft, and PNI also handles cargo shipments critical to island communities that depend heavily on imported goods and limited sea transport options.
