Airport Overview
Mwoakilloa Civil Airfield is in Pohnpei State on the southeast edge of Kahlap Island, the largest of three islands that compose Mwoakilloa Atoll, roughly 95 nautical miles (153 km) east of Pohnpei Island and 84 nautical miles (113 km) northwest of Pingelap Atoll 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.
The atoll of Mwoakilloa (formerly known as Mokil) is 2.8 miles long and 1.7 miles at its widest point. Only Kahlap is inhabited with most of the roughly 150 inhabitants living along the lagoon side of the island.
