Arriving In Kiribati

The main international gateway into Kiribati is Bonriki International Airport which is housed within a single terminal complex. The airport primarily handles regional flights and has a regular service from Brisbane. If you are looking to book flights from the UAE to Kiribati, there are no airlines providing any direct flights so you will need to make a stopover somewhere. The most convenient way to get to Kiribati is to have a stopover at Brisbane Airport which handles regular flights to and from Bonriki International Airport.

At the airport itself you’ll find only the essentials when it comes to facilities, so make sure you bring everything you need with you. When you have touched down at the airport, there are taxis available just outside of the terminal building for a direct route to your destination. However, you can also check with your hotel as many hotels in the region provide shuttles.
