Fiji Airways will operate additional and supplementary flights via Savusavu to maintain connectivity to Vanua Levu during the temporary closure of Labasa Airport.
The airline confirmed that Labasa Airport will be closed from 16 February to 27 March 2026, allowing Fiji Airports to carry out essential runway strengthening works.
All Fiji Airways flights to and from Labasa will be paused during this period.
To minimise disruption for travellers, Fiji Airways will increase services through Savusavu, offering four daily flights between Nadi and Savusavu and three weekly flights between Suva and Savusavu throughout the closure.
The airline said the additional capacity is designed to support both residents and visitors who rely on air travel to and from Vanua Levu, ensuring continued access for business, family and essential travel.
Guests with existing bookings to Labasa during the closure period are encouraged to contact Fiji Airways or their travel agents to discuss alternative travel arrangements via Savusavu.
Passengers are also advised to make bookings early, as demand is expected to increase during the temporary airport shutdown.
Fiji Airways said it will continue to provide updates as runway works progress and thanked customers for their understanding and cooperation during the closure period.
