Lakeba Island Airport guide

Lakeba Island Airport (IATA LKB, ICAO NFNK) serves Lakeba, an island of nearly 60 km² in the southern Lau Archipelago of Fiji's Eastern Division. Lakeba is the provincial capital of Lau. A road of about 29 km circles the island, and the main village, Tubou, lies in the south. The airstrip sits at an elevation of about 85 m.

The airport has one paved runway, 723 m long and 24 m wide. Airports Fiji Limited operates it, and a F$300,000 runway upgrade was carried out in 2019. There is no published passenger traffic. Facilities are basic, with no runway lighting and no refuelling reported.

Fiji Link flies the route to Nausori Airport near Suva, and it is the usual way to reach the island, which otherwise needs a long sea trip. The airstrip also handles medical evacuations, mail and freight. Taxis and rental cars are reportedly not available, so visitors normally arrange a transfer with their host or hire a local vehicle in advance.
