From July 14th 2008, the regional airport at Savusavu in Fiji will be closed for major upgrade. Travellers to Savusavu will be flown to Labasa on the same island and transported by road to their Savusavu destination.

Savusavu is a popular holiday destination on Fiji's second largest island, Vanua Levu. Domestic flights usually arrive and depart at this quiet, picturesque airstrip many times a day. The FJ$5million upgrade includes realignment of the runway and an expanded aircraft parking area.
