Preview: IslandSim – Kosrae (PTSA) Airport Micronesia

Graham Michael of Pacific Island Simulation writes: “Kosrae (PTSA) in the Federated States of Micronesia (South Pacific) is now complete and will  be released next week.”

Kosrae’s International airport located on the northwestern coast of the island is served by Continental Micronesia “Island Hopper” flights (three times a week in each direction) between Hawaii and Guam, stopping at other Federated States of Micronesia and Marshalles destinations on the way. Specifically, the “Island Hopper” employs the venerable B737-800 (and the occassional B767-300) which usually begins in each direction (from Honolulu and Guam) via Majuro and Kwajelain atolls (Republic of Marshall Islands), Kosrae, Pohnpei and Chuuk (Federated States of Micronesia). Once a month tourists also arrive on an chartered B727 including weekly freight runs by DHL and Fedex. ”
