Marshall Islands International Airport (IATA code: MAJ, ICAO code: PKMJ), also known as Amata Kabua International Airport, is a public airport serving Majuro. It is located in the western part of Rairok on the south side of Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The airport was built during World War II (1943) on Anenelibw and Lokojbar islets. It replaced Majuro Airfield, a coral-surfaced airstrip at Delap Island near the eastern end of Majuro Atoll that had been originally constructed by Japanese occupation forces in 1942.
A series of single-floor structures (small hangars) make up the airport terminal. No physical structures existed at the airport prior to the 1970s. The current terminal structure and modern runway/apron were built in 1971. Passengers from flights arriving at the airport use stairs to exit aircraft and walk to the terminal.
The airport is capable of handling all propeller-driven aircraft as well as midsize jet aircraft. Between 2007 and 2009, airport improvement projects replaced the runway surfaces, rebuilt the apron to better handle aircraft and repaved and added markings to the runway.
