Airport Key Facts

Flying Privately to Atoifi Uru Harbour

Private charter aviation is the most reliable and efficient way to reach Atoifi Uru Harbour, bypassing the highly infrequent and often disrupted commercial connections through Honiara. With no scheduled airline consistently serving ATD, private charter grants travellers complete control over departure timing, routing, and onboard comfort. The airport’s remote setting means arrivals are met directly on the ramp with none of the congestion or delays associated with larger Pacific hubs. For expeditions, humanitarian missions, or private retreats into Malaita Province, the flexibility of charter flight is simply unmatched.

About Uru Harbour Airport

Uru Harbour Airport (ATD / AGAT) is a small, remotely situated airstrip serving the Atoifi community on the eastern coast of Malaita, the Solomon Islands’ most populous island. The runway is unpaved and relatively short, restricting operations to turboprop aircraft and light piston twins capable of short-field performance. The airport was developed largely in support of the Atoifi Adventist Hospital, which continues to generate the majority of air traffic to and from the strip. Passenger facilities are minimal, with basic shelter and ground handling conducted locally; customs and immigration processes for international arrivals are coordinated through Honiara before onward travel to ATD. Its extreme remoteness and natural surroundings make it one of the most distinctive airstrips in the entire Solomon Islands archipelago.

Discover Atoifi Uru Harbour

Atoifi Uru Harbour rewards travellers who seek authenticity — the surrounding Malaita coastline is fringed with mangroves, coral reefs, and traditional lagoon villages that have changed little over generations. The Atoifi Adventist Hospital draws visiting medical specialists and NGO representatives from across the Pacific, making the area a quiet hub of humanitarian activity.

Private Jet Charter Tips for Atoifi Uru Harbour

• Best time to visit — April to October offers drier conditions and calmer seas, significantly improving visibility and airstrip conditions
• Transfer to city — the airstrip sits within walking distance of Atoifi; boat transfers by local vessel are available for outlying coastal villages
• Recommended aircraft — turboprop aircraft such as a Cessna Caravan or Twin Otter are essential for the final leg into ATD given the short gravel runway
• Customs and immigration — international travellers must clear customs and immigration at Honiara (HIR) before proceeding to ATD; Prime Jet Services coordinates all documentation and scheduling accordingly
