## Description

Tourism fills the cabins; cargo rides below the floor. Palau's only international gateway operates no dedicated freighters — instead, air freight moves as belly capacity on United Airlines' near-daily services and on Asia Pacific Air charters out of Guam. Set in Airai State on Babeldaob island near Koror, Roman Tmetuchl International (ROR) supplies an economy that imports nearly everything it consumes, with air imports worth roughly USD 15 million in 2024. For full-load or time-critical freight, forwarders route through Guam (GUM), the regional consolidation point for Micronesia. The honest read for logistics planners: ROR is a modest belly-cargo point, best paired with Guam upstream.
