Johnston Atoll Airport (IATA: JON, ICAO: PJON) is located on the Johnston Atoll in the United States Minor Outlying Islands, in the Pacific Ocean several hundred kilometers southwest of Hawaii. While an active U.S. military facility during the 20th century, the airport was shut down in 2005 and the airstrip is not maintained; it is now used only in emergencies.
