Remote atoll gateway serving the outer islands of Kiribati.

Location

Kuria, Kiribati

Kuria Airport is a small domestic airstrip located on Kuria Atoll in the Gilbert Islands group of Kiribati, a Pacific Island nation straddling the equator. The airport serves as a vital link for the island's small population, providing access to the capital South Tarawa and other outer islands via domestic air services. The airstrip is basic in infrastructure, typical of outer island airports in Kiribati, with minimal facilities and no significant terminal building. Air connectivity is essential here given the lack of reliable inter-island shipping and the remote nature of the atoll. The airport is operated under the authority of the Kiribati government and is served by Air Kiribati, the national carrier, which connects outer island communities to the main hub at Bonriki International Airport on Tarawa.

Terminals

The airport has no formal terminal building, with only basic passenger handling facilities typical of remote outer island airstrips.

Getting to & from

Ground transport on Kuria is extremely limited, with travel primarily by foot or bicycle across the small atoll.
