Labasa Airport guide

Labasa Airport serves Labasa, the largest town on Vanua Levu, in Macuata Province on the island's north-east coast. Its ICAO code is NFNL. The airfield lies at Waiqele, about 7 km from the town centre, at an elevation of 13 m above sea level.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 13/31, 1,073 m long. Airports Fiji Limited operates it. The runway length suits turboprop aircraft rather than jets, so all services are domestic.

Fiji Link, the domestic arm of Fiji Airways, flies to Nadi and to Nausori Airport at Suva. Northern Air also flies to Suva. Flights are the quickest link to Viti Levu, since the alternative is an overland trip to Savusavu or Nabouwalu followed by a ferry.

The town sits on a delta formed by the Wailevu, Labasa and Qawa rivers. Sugar cane is the main crop on the surrounding farmland, and the Fiji Sugar Corporation mill on the town's outskirts is the only sugar mill on the island.
