The only scheduled passenger services for Pohnpei are Continental Micronesia's "Island Hopper" service between Guam and Honolulu (three times weekly in each direction) and the weekly Guam-Chuuk-Pohnpei flight.

• Continental Airlines
  • Continental Airlines operated by Continental Micronesia (Chuuk, Guam, Honolulu, Kosrae, Kwajalein, Majuro)

In addition to passenger services, Asia Pacific Airlines transports cargo (including U.S. mail) to and from Pohnpei more than once a week. ^[1]
