It is located in the Yaren district. The airport's ICAO airport code was formerly ANAU.

[edit] Recent history

In 2005, when the only 737-400 of Air Nauru was seized by the court of Melbourne, Australia, the national company used a F100 Twinjet chartered from Alliance Airlines of Townsville, Australia[1]. The route from Tarawa to Nadi, Fiji, has been operated by Air Pacific for Air Nauru on a charter basis since December 2005 to May 2006[2], and this service has been lost by Air Nauru/Our Airline since this date[3].

Since September 2006, Air Nauru has resumed operations under the new name Our Airline with a new 737-300.
