Annual pax (~35,000) is a 2024 planning estimate - no published FSM aviation-statistics throughput figures were found; treat as indicative only. Sole scheduled service is United's Guam-Honolulu 'Island Hopper' routing (via Pohnpei/Kosrae/Majuro/Kwajalein) plus regional charter (Caroline Islands Air); the single 04/22 runway was reconstructed and grooved circa 2016-2017, but Air Niugini Flight 73 (737-800) landed short of RWY 04 into the lagoon in Sep 2018 - an undershoot, not a runway overrun - with one fatality.

United Airlines
Self-handled, United Airlines — the carrier's own dedicated ground crew perform passenger, ramp and baggage/cargo loading for its scheduled 4x-weekly Boeing 737-800 'Island Hopper' rotation (Guam–Chuuk–Pohnpei–Kosrae–Kwajalein–Majuro–Honolulu). No independent third-party ground handler operates at TKK; the airport authority's own data confirms 'ground handling for passenger aircraft is handled by United Airlines.'

Aircraft fuel
Available
Vital / FSM Petroleum Company (Vital FSMPC)
Sole into-plane fuel supplier at TKK, located adjacent to the airport; supplies Jet A-1 via single-point ground refueling (listed at USD 1.63/litre in the Logistics Cluster assessment; a tanker-based delivery is expected pending upgrade of the single-point system). No commercial Avgas — 100LL is 'provided by individual private users' only, not by the supplier. New customers without an account must prearrange fuel 48 hours in advance; charges are billed directly by the company. Vital/FSMPC runs aviation into-plane refueling at all four of FSM's international airports (Chuuk, Pohnpei, Yap, Kosrae) plus Guam and Nauru, and confirmed in its own October 2025 press statements (Press Release 02-2025/03-2025) that a refueling-equipment fault at Chuuk was resolved and service restored.

Provides ground/cargo-handling services for APA's (Asia Pacific Airlines) twice-weekly air-freight service carrying mail and parcels at TKK.
