[[Palau International Airport]] provides scheduled direct flights with [[Guam]] ([[Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport]]), [[Manila]] ([[Ninoy Aquino International Airport]]), and [[Taipei]] ([[Taoyuan International Airport]]). In addition, the states of Angaur and Peleliu have regular service to domestic destinations. 
Air service has at times been spotty. [[Palau Micronesia Air]], [[Asian Spirit]] and [[Pacific Flier]] provided service to the Philippines and other destinations at various times during the 2000s, but all suspended service.<ref>{{cite news|title=Palau's PacificFlier relooks business plan after suspension|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/08/13/346121/palaus-pacificflier-relooks-business-plan-after-suspension.html|author=Ghim-Lay Yeo|work=FlightGlobal|access-date=13 September 2011|archive-date=16 August 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100816155132/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/08/13/346121/palaus-pacificflier-relooks-business-plan-after-suspension.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[United Airlines]] provides near-daily service to and from Guam, and once-weekly service to [[Yap]]. Also, [[Korean Air]] provides service three times per week to [[Incheon]]. Two to four times per week , China Airlines provides service between Koror and Taipei, Taiwan.

Freight, military, and cruise ships often call at Malaehaka Harbor, on [[Malakal Island]] outside Koror. The country has no railways, and of the {{convert|61|km|mi|0|abbr=on|disp=or}} of highways, only {{convert|36|km|mi|0|abbr=on|disp=or}} are paved. Driving is on the right, and the speed limit is {{convert|40|km/h|0|abbr=on}}. Taxis are available in Koror. They are not metered, and fares are negotiable. Transportation between islands mostly relies on private boats and domestic air services. However, there are some state-run boats<ref>{{cite web|url=http://outofyourcomfortzone.net/all-the-schedules-and-prices-for-palaus-state-boat-between-koror-peleliu-and-angaur/|title=All the Schedules and Prices for Palau's State Ferries between Koror, Peliliu and Angour|date=17 February 2016|access-date=1 March 2016|archive-date=7 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307021732/http://outofyourcomfortzone.net/all-the-schedules-and-prices-for-palaus-state-boat-between-koror-peleliu-and-angaur/|url-status=live}}</ref> between islands as a cheaper alternative.
