Nauru International Airport (IATA: INU, ICAO: ANYN) is the sole airport in the Republic of Nauru. The airport currently connects the country to one international passenger destination (Brisbane, Australia), served by Nauru's national airline, Nauru Airlines.

History[]

The airstrip was built during the World War II Japanese occupation of Nauru using forced labour. Operations began in January 1943. After the war, it was converted to a civilian airport.
