## Description

Arorae Island Airport (AIS/NGTR) is a basic coral airstrip on the atoll of the same name in the southern Gilbert Islands of Kiribati, served by small aircraft on inter-island routes. It has no cargo terminal, no freighter operations and no customs post; goods, building materials and fuel reach the island almost exclusively by supply vessel, leaving the airstrip with minimal freight relevance. International shipments to Kiribati are handled at Tarawa Bonriki International (TRW), the national gateway roughly 600 km north.
