Yap International Airport

Yap International Airport (PTYA) is a medium airport in Yap Island, Micronesia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code PTYA or IATA code YAP. It sits in Oceania.

Yap International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 6,000 ft (1,829 m), a midsize and super-midsize-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Citation Longitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. In practice this comfortable for most midsize and super-mid charter equipment.

Yap International Airport sits near sea level at 91 ft.

Local operations run on Pacific/Chuuk. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
