Airai, Coastal state capital on Babeldaob Island, Palau.

Airai extends across 44 square kilometers of southern Babeldaob, featuring limestone islands, mangrove forests, and the Ngerikiil River system.

The state developed from traditional villages with stone platforms and ancestral shrines that continue to serve as clan cemeteries throughout the region.

The communities of Ngetkib, Ngeruluobel, Ngerusar, Yelch, Airai, and Oikull maintain their distinct identities through local governance and traditional practices.

Roman Tmetuchl International Airport provides essential transportation links, connecting Palau to destinations across Asia and the Pacific region.

The Koror-Babeldaob Bridge connects Airai to neighboring regions, facilitating movement between the airport and other parts of the country.
