History

The airstrip was built during the World War II Japanese occupation of Nauru using forced labour. Operations began in January 1943. After the war, it was converted to a civilian airport.

The airport is located in the Yaren district, the least populated district in Nauru, just north of many of the government buildings, including the Parliament House, police station, and a secondary school. The airport holds the head office of flag carrier, Nauru Airlines.[1]

Also located at the airport are the Republic of Nauru Civil Aviation Authority, tasked with airport security and operational management; the Directorate of Immigration, tasked with control of incoming and outgoing passengers, and the Nauru Customs Service.
