    The airport's ICAO identifier is KNSI.[2] Although most U.S. airports and airbases use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, NOLF San Nicolas Island is assigned NSI by the FAA,[3] and the IATA has assigned NSI to Nsimalen International Airport in Yaoundé, Cameroon.[4]

    US Navy took over the Landing Field in January 1933 from the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Civil Aeronautics Authority built the two airstrips in the 1930s as two emergency dirt landing strips.
