About Aur Island Airport
Aur Island Airport is a small public-use airstrip on Aur Atoll in the Ratak Chain of the Marshall Islands, assigned the IATA code AUL. It serves primarily domestic flights and occasional charter operations, connecting Aur with Majuro, the capital and main international gateway.
The airport has a single unpaved coral-gravel runway of about 640 m (2,100 ft), suitable for light turboprop aircraft such as the Dornier 228 used by Air Marshall Islands. Passenger handling takes place in a simple sheltered waiting area with seating and a small airfield office.
Located on a remote coral atoll, it has no road link to Majuro; travel to the capital is by scheduled inter-island flight, typically around 25 minutes, while movement within the atoll relies on pre-arranged pickups, walking, or small motorboats. Because services are weather-dependent and run once or twice weekly, travelers should confirm schedules in advance.
Facilities are limited, so visitors should bring water, snacks and cash; basic supplies may be available in the nearby village. Despite its small size, the airstrip is an important lifeline for residents and visitors to Aur Atoll.
