Fuaʻamotu International Airport

Fuaamotu is a total controlled aerodrome and all traffic is guided by air traffic control. The tower is contactable on 118.5, and Ground on 121.9. Outside of the hours of service at Fuaamotu a limited FIS is available by Auckland Oceanic. Runway 11/29 (elev 91 ft/28m): PCN 45 FBXT (flexible pavement, medium subgrade strength, medium tyre pressure (), technical evaluation completed). Runway end identifier lights are installed at each end of the runway, as are T-VASI glidescope indicators. Low intensity runway lighting is provided, and a simple low intensity lighting approach lighting system is installed on Runway 11. ==Size restrictions==

It is the strength of the runway rather than the length that restricts operations from Fuaamotu. Even a fully laden Boeing 767-300ER on a flexible pavement B strength, such as at this airport, requires a Pavement Classification Number (PCN) of 59, therefore is not allowed to take off with full load. The same can be said of a Boeing 747-400, which theoretically could take off and land at Fuaamotu length-wise, but needs a PCN of 66, and would therefore damage the runway severely in the process (A B747-400 weighs over twice as much as a B767-300ER). ==Ground transport==

There is no public bus service to the airport, but several hostels and hotels in Nukualofa meet flights, and taxis are available. == Airlines and destinations==
