Ailuk Airport (AIM)

Ailuk Airport (AIM) serves Ailuk Atoll in the Marshall Islands with a coral/sand runway and a small shelter‑style terminal used on flight days. Operations are limited to small aircraft flown by Air Marshall Islands (when operating) or charters. Passengers check in with the local agent, wait in a shaded area, and board on foot across the apron; arrivals disembark directly onto the runway shoulder.

The layout is entirely ground‑level and very compact. From the village path or boat landing to the terminal hut is roughly a minute; from the hut to the aircraft is a 30–60 second walk. There are no buses or jet bridges, and movements are coordinated locally.

There is no formal screening and no immigration/customs processing at AIM. International formalities for a journey are handled at hub airports such as Majuro (MAJ) or Kwajalein (KWA) subject to access rules. Schedules are sensitive to weather, tides, and aircraft availability.

Amenities are minimal: basic seating, shade, and sometimes a kiosk on flight days. There are no lounges, restaurants, or shops; connectivity can be intermittent. Ground transport is by foot or boat within the atoll and by pre‑arranged vehicles for longer transfers.

Accessibility is basic but step‑free; community members and staff often assist travelers with reduced mobility. Family facilities are minimal—bring baby supplies, water, snacks, and sun protection.
