Chuuk International Airport (IATA: TKK, ICAO: PTKK) is an airport located on Weno (formerly Moen), the main island of the State of Chuuk (formerly Truk) in the Federated States of Micronesia.
Airlines and destinations

For many years the only service was the three-times-weekly "Island Hopper" flight between Guam and Honolulu operated by United Airlines, (formerly Continental Micronesia), plus another weekly flight between Guam and Pohnpei. In June 2015, Nauru Airlines resumed a once-weekly service.
