Transport in Nauru
From Free net encyclopedia
Nauru has one 24 km paved road that circles the island and a dirt track that leads to the Nauru Phosphate Corporation stockpile and offices. There is one artificial harbour at Anibare Bay. The island's airport consists of a stretch of road that serves as a runway and an airline terminal. Air service was provided by Air Nauru. However, the national carrier Air Nauru had been teetering on the edge of bankruptcy for years and had its last remaining plane impounded in December 2005; leaving the future of flights to Nauru unclear
