Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Co-operatives, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Communications, Hon. Manoa Kamikamica, recently visited Taveuni, sharing the government’s vision for transformative developments on the island, primarily focusing on infrastructure upgrades and boosting tourism.

Key among the projects discussed was the proposed extension of Taveuni’s Matei airstrip runway, an upgrade that could make it possible for larger ATR aircraft to operate between Nadi and Taveuni.

Currently, Fiji Link indicates that 42-seater planes could land with an extended runway, though DPM Kamikamica noted his hopes for 72-seater aircraft in the future.
