AIP referencePKMJ - no independent RMI civil AIP; airport data is published via the FAA Chart Supplement, Pacific, consistent with Compact of Free Association status
Operating hoursNo control tower; Majuro Radio (CTAF 123.6) provides local radio advisories, with FAA Flight Service support from Honolulu FSS. Airport superintendent on duty Sun-Fri 0800-1700 local. PPR required from the airport manager 24 hours in advance for all landings; night landings need separate prior approval except declared emergencies.
TerminalsSingle 1971-built single-story terminal (converted hangar structures); passengers deplane via stairs to the apron. An FAA-funded runway and apron rehabilitation project (roughly $34-38M) broke ground around 2024-2025, and construction of a new terminal on the former car-park site began in March 2026; both projects remain actively underway.

Airport contact
Runway 07/25 is the only paved strip on a narrow atoll islet and doubles as a rainwater-catchment surface feeding Majuro's water supply, flanked by catchment areas along both sides. Realistic diversion options are limited - Kwajalein is only about 233 nm away, with Tarawa or Guam as the practical extended options - so island-hopper crews plan fuel conservatively. Air Marshall Islands' outer-atoll network (a mixed Dash 8-100 / Dornier 228 fleet, roughly 5 aircraft as of August 2025, with Cessna 408 SkyCouriers being added through early 2026) is thin and weather/maintenance-sensitive, so treat onward domestic connections as non-guaranteed. Fuel is Jet A1+ only; no airframe, powerplant, or oxygen servicing on field.

Republic of the Marshall Islands Ports Authority (RMIPA)
RMIPA owns and operates Amata Kabua/Marshall Islands International Airport (RMI's sole international airport), including the terminal, apron and ARFF, and is the field's default ramp/passenger-handling authority for carriers that do not self-handle; no separately contracted third-party ground-handling company is documented at MAJ, and it is unconfirmed whether RMIPA staff perform full ramp services (e.g. for Nauru Airlines) or only facilitate airport access.

Aircraft fuel
PPR
Republic of the Marshall Islands Ports Authority (RMIPA)
Jet A-1 (listed 'A1+', Prist-treated) is dispensed from the airport's own fuel delivery depot per AirNav and the airport's published facility list; landing requires PPR to the Airport Manager at least 24 hours in advance, and fuel uplift is arranged as part of that same request. No branded third-party fuel supplier (Mobil/Total/Puma etc.) is documented at MAJ — sale appears to be a direct RMIPA/airport-management operation.

United Airlines
No station-based line-maintenance contractor is documented at MAJ; per published route-operations reporting, United's Island Hopper aircraft instead carries a dedicated mechanic and a cache of spare parts on board to cover in-transit defects across the multi-stop route, with the mechanic performing a physical inspection at every stop including this leg (self-handled, United; unconfirmed beyond that reporting).

Flight support
PPR
Republic of the Marshall Islands Ports Authority (RMIPA)
Airport management (the Airport Manager, reachable via RMI Ports Authority) is the mandatory PPR point of contact for landings at MAJ, and RMIPA is listed as the FBO/Handler of record in the FlightBridge trip-support directory; that listing states no international handling is offered, so this is basic flight-ops/permission coordination rather than a full-service FBO.
