Nikunau Airport serves the small coral atoll of Nikunau in the southern Gilbert Islands of Kiribati, providing a vital air link for this remote Pacific community of roughly 2,000 residents. The airstrip primarily handles domestic flights operated by Air Kiribati, connecting the island to Tarawa and other Gilbert Islands destinations. Its modest infrastructure reflects the limited but essential role aviation plays in keeping Kiribati's scattered atolls connected.
