2.2 Tonga Aviation
Tonga Aviation
There are six airports in Tonga, one airport on each of the main islands. Of these, one has paved runways, the Fuaʻamotu International Airport on Tongatapu. Of the remaining airports, one has runways exceeding length 1,524m, two have runways longer than 914m, with the remaining two having runways shorter than 914m. Tonga is serviced internationally by Fiji Airlines, Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia, and internally by Real Tonga Airlines.
The Tonga airports sector was corporatized in July 2007. All airports are now managed and operated by TAL (Tonga Airports Limited), a public company under the Companies Act and Public Enterprises Act. Fua’amotu airport at Nuku’alofa is the major international gateway with regular services to Australia, New Zealand and United States (via Samoa). Vava’u airport is also a certified international airport.
Niuatoputapu (aka Kuini Lavenia Airport, aka Mata’aho Airport) may be used as a port of entry by prior special arrangement with the Chief Executive Officer, provided notice is given not less than 48 hours in advance of the intended arrival time.
The completion of large-scale upgrades to Tonga’s international airports, Fua’amotu (Tongatapu) and Lupepau’u (Vava’u) supports increased aircraft operations to Tonga. An apron expansion of approximately 2,150 square metres involved the construction of a new base and asphaltic surface. The expansion enables larger (Code E) aircraft, like Air New Zealand’s B777 and B787, to park on the apron whilst still allowing other aircraft to enter, park and exit.
