Kili Airport guide

Kili Airport is a public-use airstrip on Kili Island, a single-island atoll in the southern Marshall Islands. The island covers about 0.93 square kilometres and rises roughly 3 metres above the sea. Its 415 residents, counted in the 2021 census, are mostly descendants of the Bikini Atoll people, who were moved here in 1948 when the United States began nuclear testing at Bikini.

The airstrip opened on 5 September 1981. It has one runway, 04/22, about 1,341 metres (4,400 feet) long and 30 metres wide, with a coral gravel surface. The strip sits about 1.5 metres above sea level.

Kili has no lagoon, and ships cannot reach it for about four months each year because of rough seas. Air Marshall Islands is the only airline listed, with service to Majuro and Namdrik. No aircraft are based here, and no passenger statistics are published. The island lies about 48 kilometres southwest of Jaluit Atoll.
