Airport Overview
Houk Civil Airfield is in Chuuk State on Houk Island, also known as Pulusuk, roughly 183 miles (294 km) southwest of Chuuk International Airport and 135 miles (217 km) south of Namonuito Atoll. It is usually served by Caroline Islands Air (currently out of service awaiting delivery of a new aircraft). To utilize the airstrip, operators must apply for the appropriate flight permits with the F.S.M. Division of Civil Aviation. Once approval has been granted, the operator can contact the Chuuk Port Authority Airport Manager to make arrangements for on-call personnel to be present at the airfield.
Houk Island, or Pulusuk, lies at the end of a 35-mile-long submerged atoll called Manila Reef and belongs to the Pattiw island group. The island is shaped like an inverted pear, 2 miles long and 0.6 miles wide. Most of Houk's inhabitants live in the middle of the island around the western coast.
