Labasa Airport is temporarily closed as construction teams initiate essential upgrades to its runway, with the aim of elevating safety standards and enhancing services for passengers in the Northern Division. The closure will remain in effect until 27 March 2026 while these crucial works take place.
The upgrade project emphasizes significant improvements to the runway, which are intended to bolster operational safety and create a better experience for both travelers and aviation professionals. With the airport out of service, travelers are encouraged to explore alternative transportation options during this period.
Authorities have expressed their gratitude towards the public for their understanding and cooperation, recognizing that these enhancements will result in a safer and more resilient runway for the Friendly North community once completed. This commitment to upgrading infrastructure not only reflects a dedication to passenger safety but also indicates a positive investment in the region’s aviation future.
