Airport Overview

Pingelap Civil Airfield is in Pohnpei State on the west coast of the largest and southernmost of the three islands that compose Pingelap Atoll, roughly 154 nautical miles (285 km) west of Pohnpei Island. In order to utilize the airstrip, operators must apply for the appropriate flight permits with the FSM Division of Civil Aviation. Once approval has been granted, the operator can contact the Pohnpei Port Authority Airport Manager to arrange for on-call personnel to be present at the airfield. 

Pingelap Atoll is 2.6 miles long and 1.6 miles at its widest point. Only the largest island is inhabited with roughly 250 residents living mostly near the airfield on the west side of the island. The three islands have a cumulative land area of 1.1 square miles. The local language is Pingelapese, though English is also spoken.
