Ulithi Airport (IATA: ULI, FAA LID: TT02) is a public airport serving the island of Falalop, located on the Falalop Island, in the Ulithi Atoll in Federated States of Micronesia.

History

The Japanese had built an airstrip on Falalop. It was expanded and resurfaced, the runway running the full width of the island. The east end of the strip was extended approximately twenty feet past the natural shoreline. A number of small strips for light aircraft were built on several of the smaller islands.[2]
