Which terminal

Bucholz Army Air Field is a regional airport, usually with a single arrivals area. When a couple of flights land together it fills up fast, so agree one exact spot to wait.

Where to wait

Put the exact spot in your Greet. Your guest sees it on their phone from the moment they land at KWA, even without signal.

  • Inside the arrivals hall, a few metres back from the doors passengers come through.
  • At one landmark you can both name: a numbered exit, a café sign or the information desk.
  • Not right at the barrier, where everyone crowds and nobody can see past the first row.

Passport control and timing

International arrivals go through passport control and customs before the arrivals hall. Domestic flights within Marshall Islands are usually much quicker.

Kwajalein runs on Pacific/Kwajalein time. The clock at the top of this page shows the local time now.

How long after landing do passengers come out at KWA?

Usually 20 to 45 minutes, longer with checked bags or passport control. With a Greet they tap I've landed and Collecting my bags, so you know instead of guessing.

Yes. They open your link in their phone's browser. Airport Wi-Fi is enough.
