MAJ is the airport code for Amata Kabua International Airport, the main airport of the Marshall Islands, serving the capital, Majuro, in the central Pacific Ocean. Majuro is a coral atoll, a long, narrow ring of low islets around a large lagoon, and it is both the seat of government and the largest population centre of this remote island nation. It is a working Pacific capital rather than a resort, strung out along the atoll, with lagoon on one side and open ocean on the other. Majuro serves as the gateway to the wider Marshall Islands, with their traditional culture, wartime history and superb diving, and is a hub for the region's air and sea links. Majuro is reached by international flights into Amata Kabua International Airport, on the route across the central Pacific, and by inter-island air and boat. The climate is warm and tropical year-round, and the atoll is very low-lying.
