Chuuk International Airport (IATA: TKK, ICAO: PTKK) is an airport located on Weno (formerly Moen), the main island of the State of Chuuk (formerly Truk) in the Federated States of Micronesia.

History

Chuuk Airport (Formerly Moen Airfield 1) in February 1944 from a TBF Avenger of VT-6 from the USS Intrepid CV-11.
Chuuk Airport (Formerly Moen Airfield 1) in February 1944 from a TBF Avenger of VT-6 from the USS Intrepid CV-11.

Chuuk International Airport was originally built by Japan between November and December 1942. Back then it was known as Harushima Airfield to the Japanese or Moen Air Field 1. With around 80 support buildings including a large hangar and underground storage for fuel and ammunition, it was used by fighter, bomber and reconnaissance aircraft at Naval Base Truk.[1] Between October 4, 1944, and June 27, 1945, the airfield was attacked by USAAF aircraft.[2]

Airlines and destinations

Like many islands within the region, commercial air service is rather limited.

For many years the only service was the three-times-weekly Island Hopper flight between Guam and Honolulu operated by United Airlines, (formerly Continental Micronesia), plus another weekly flight between Guam and Pohnpei. In June 2015, Nauru Airlines resumed a once-weekly service but ended in 2016.
