Location
Okat, Federated States of Micronesia
Kosrae International Airport (IATA: KSA, ICAO: PTSA) serves Kosrae State, the easternmost state of the Federated States of Micronesia. Located near the village of Okat on the northern coast of Kosrae Island, the airport is the sole air entry point to this remote and ecologically rich island in the western Pacific Ocean.
