It appears to be the destination of the 450knot flight path that the NTSB initially charted then abandoned:

But could he have made it to that island with the fuel he had on board?

I don't see any airport there. Just a tiny village at the northeast corner.

It doesn't look like the topography would be very favorable to constructing an airport.
