Kirakira Airport

Kirakira Airport (IRA) on Makira Island, Solomon Islands, opened in the 1960s and operates from a single small terminal serving domestic connections; it’s the main air link for Kirakira township and surrounding communities. This compact regional airfield is important for access to provincial government services, tourism and inter-island travel, with regular flights—primarily by Solomon Airlines—linking to Honiara and other nearby islands. Ground access from the town is short by road and local buses or taxis are available, while boat links serve more remote villages. Flights are generally affordable compared with international routes, though limited capacity can sometimes push prices higher.
