Pohnpei International Airport (PNI)
Kolonia, Micronesia (Federated States of)
Overview
Pohnpei International Airport sits on Deketik Island just outside Kolonia and serves as the main air gateway for Pohnpei State and the nearby national capital area. It is a key stop on United Airlines' trans-Pacific 'Island Hopper' route linking Guam, the Marshall Islands, and Honolulu, making it one of Micronesia's busier airports.
Terminals
A single modest terminal handles both international and domestic traffic, with limited check-in counters and a basic departure lounge.
Transport to city center
Kolonia town is just a few kilometres away via a causeway, reached most easily by taxi or hotel shuttle. Rides into town take only about ten minutes.
Lounges
There are no premium airline lounges; the terminal offers only simple seating and a small snack option.
Travel tips
Island Hopper flights run only a few times per week, so book well ahead and reconfirm timings. Carry US dollars, the local currency, as card acceptance is limited.
