Marshall Islands International Airport , also known as Amata Kabua International Airport, is located in the western part of Rairok on the south side of Majuro Atoll, the capital of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The airport was built during World War II (1943) on Anenelibw and Lokojbar islets.〔()〕 It replaced Majuro Airfield, a coral-surfaced airstrip at Delap Island near the eastern end of Majuro Atoll that had been originally constructed by Japanese occupation forces in 1942.〔()〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pacific Wrecks - Majuro Airport (New Airport) )〕 A series of single floor structures (small hangars) makeup the airport terminal. No physical structures existed at the airport prior to the 1970s. The current terminal structure and modern runway/apron were built in 1971.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CONSTRUCTING MAJURO AIRPORT RUNWAY AND TERMINAL.1971 - Reel 2859 )〕 Passengers from flights arriving at the airport use stairs to exit aircraft and walk to the terminal. The airport is capable of handling all propeller-driven aircraft as well as small to midsize jet aircraft (e.g., Boeing 737s, Boeing 727s and Boeing 767s). The Republic of the Marshall Islands Ports Authority replaced the Marshall Islands Airports Authority in managing the airport in 2003 under RMI Port Authority Act.〔(RMI Port Authority Act 2003 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Republic of the Marshall Islands Ports Authority )〕 ==Airport improvements== Sea walls have been added to prevent the sea from reclaiming the infill used to create the airport.
