About This Airport
The US Army runs Bucholz Army Air Field (IATA: KWA) on Kwajalein Atoll as part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site, making it a controlled military installation rather than an open commercial airport. Entry requires sponsorship and clearance, and traffic is dominated by defence, contractor and resupply movements. United Airlines' Island Hopper calls here with a Boeing 737, but genuine commercial airfreight is limited to belly space. Most cargo consists of military and project logistics serving the garrison. Forwarders handling civilian shipments are better routed through Majuro (MAJ) or Guam (GUM).
