 * In response to your message about my edit of "Kanton Island Airport", I do not have a reference, just a memory... of landing at CIS on ON (Air Nauru)'s lone 737-200, specially equipped for landing on coral dirt runways, in 1994. I may have a photograph somewhere. The routing was HNL-CXI-CIS-TRW-INU. I flew the roundtrip twice, in 1993 and 1994. In 1993, the flight was non-stop from CXI to TRW, but at 3300 km, this was pushing the range of the 737-200, even equipped with extra tanks in the luggage hold (and passenger luggage carried on the seats in the back of the cabin!), and by 1994, they were stopping at CIS. The route was discontinued later that year when the 737-200 failed an inspection by the FAA at HNL airport. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.124.164.104 (talk) 1:06 pm, Today (UTC+0)
