Levuka Airfield guide

Levuka Airfield (IATA LEV, ICAO NFNB), also called Bureta Airport, serves Ovalau, an island in Fiji's Lomaiviti group. The strip sits at Bureta on the west side of the island, at an elevation of about 3 m above sea level. It lies roughly 22 km from the historic port town of Levuka, which is on the opposite coast.

The airfield has one gravel runway, 08/26, about 640 m long. Airports Fiji Limited operates it, and no passenger or movement statistics are published. Wikipedia lists Northern Air on the route to Nausori Airport near Suva.

Service has been unreliable. Fiji's Ministry of Civil Aviation has acknowledged that the Bureta airfield has been closed since 2019 because of the condition of the runway. Government reports have described plans to reopen it, with an initial target of at least one commercial flight a week, but a reopening has not been confirmed. Check the current status with Airports Fiji Limited or the airline before planning a trip, and keep the ferry from Suva as a fallback.
