I was wondering the same, it’s obvious from the photos of the island that a plane can not land there? They must land in a close by island and be shuttled to the island in a boat.

Google Earthing the island:

There is no landing strip for fix-winged craft. There is a helicopter landing point on a grassed tract designated with a large “H”.

Did not look at adjacent, larger islands for fix-winged capability.

Could a sea plane land there? Or too far out for fuel capacity?
