Join me as I explore what it is like to fly Air Marshall Islands to one of the outer atolls of the Marshall Islands.
I flew a circuit, taking off at Marshall Islands International Airport (MAJ) on the Majuro Atoll and flying to the Mili Atoll. We first stopped at Mili Airport (MIJ) before heading on to Enejet Airport (EJT) and then returning to Majuro from there.
The aircraft was V7-1512, a Dornier 228-212 built in 1997. Its cabin and seats were rather dated but in general, it was a good experience. I was impressed by the quick ground handling on the outer islands.

As always an absolutely fantastic and interesting video! It's on the one side great to see these more or less unknown places on a flighttrip but on the other side very sad that these atolls may be gone forever in the foreseeable future! I flew the Dornier 228 once on a long gone route within Germany from Dortmund (DTM) to the now closed airport of Berlin-Tempelhof (THF), operated by an also long gone airline called LGW (Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter). What a great experience that was......!

Yea, these atolls are quite susceptible to rising sea levels... Mili Airport is 4 feet above sea level, by the way. Flying to Tempelhof must have been quite interesting! I missed out on that but at least got to walk on the runway.

You should’ve spent a day or two on the outer islands and see the beaches

Marshall islands people time their sweet time going and coming. It's called Marshallese time.

Next come to Palau 🇵🇼

I had a flight booked to Palau in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Naturally, it got cancelled but I'm definitely looking at it :).

Have been watching since 800 subscribers. Whilst every video I've seen you have been driven to the airport, the rarity of your content and delivering the reality of travelling to these ultra remote places makes up for it. Given your love of Google maps, do you take any photos to contribute to Google maps when you visit?

@walkingtoairports Месяц назад

To be fair, walking to Majuro Airport would take a solid three hours in the heat with aggressive dogs along the way 😅. I put up pictures and reviews on Google Maps sometimes, not too often though.

There no “Air Maybe” in the Marshall Islands.

Emergency axe? That's...interesting. 🤔

@walkingtoairports Месяц назад

There's an emergency axe onboard almost every aircraft. Usually it's not so visible, though ;).

@blpblp-tj7ux Месяц назад

@@walkingtoairports oh wow...I had no idea. I've done more flying in single-engine planes than commercial passenger aircraft, so forgive my ignorance. But while I am learning, can I ask; in what kind of emergency would the axe be useful?

@walkingtoairports Месяц назад

For example in case there's a fire in areas hard to reach otherwise, sidewalls/panels etc.
