Savusavu Airport is buzzing with activity today as it welcomes increased domestic flights, ensuring the smooth transition of travellers.

With Labasa Airport temporarily closed for runway strengthening works, Savusavu Airport is currenlty serving as the alternative gateway to the Friendly North.

Both Fiji Link and Northern Air have increased flight schedules to Savusavu to cater for travel demand during the closure period of Labasa Airport from February 16 to March 27.

The government is requesting travellers to make necessary alternative travel arrangements to the North during this period.
