Aéroport de Nausori Int'l (SUV)
Nausori International Airport (IATA: SUV / ICAO: NFNA) serves as a vital gateway to Fiji, particularly the region surrounding the country's capital, Suva. Situated in Nausori on the eastern coast of Viti Levu, the airport is approximately 23 kilometers away from Suva, providing easy access to Fiji's political and administrative center. As an international airport, Nausori predominantly caters to a mix of domestic and regional flights, serving as a crucial node for both local commuters and international tourists.
The airport's history dates back to the mid-20th century. Initially established as a modest airstrip, Nausori has grown substantially in response to increasing passenger demand and the rising significance of Suva as a global city. Though smaller in scale compared to Nadi International Airport, Nausori has effectively expanded its infrastructure to accommodate a growing number of flights and passengers annually.
As of recent statistics, Nausori International handles thousands of passengers each year, with multiple airlines operating regular flights. The airport facilitates around several flights daily, connecting Suva with various domestic destinations like Nadi, Labasa, and Taveuni, as well as select international locations in the South Pacific and beyond. Carriers such as Fiji Airways and its subsidiary Fiji Link, along with other regional airlines, maintain a robust presence at the airport.
Nausori International Airport is continuously investing in infrastructure and service upgrades to enhance passenger experience and operational efficiency. This forward-looking approach ensures that the airport remains a pivotal hub in Fiji’s aviation landscape, bridging the archipelago with the broader international community.
