Domestic air services into Fiji’s north-eastern
region, suspended as a safety measure when Tropical Cyclone Tomas
passed through the region, became fully operational as of this
Thursday morning.
Pacific Sun flights into Vanua Levu,
Savusavu and Taveuni were given the green light first thing
Thursday morning following inspections of runways and airport
facilities by local aviation authorities.
Tourism Fiji CEO Josefa Tuamoto said this was
fantastic news for the region’s hoteliers and resort operators,
all of which have reported their properties have now in the main
been tidied up and are fully functional and ready to accept
guests.
Mr Tuamoto said while many trees had been
knocked down and several coastal villages had suffered
considerable damage, hotels and resorts in the region had only
reported minimal damage, mostly to thatching.
“The resumption of air services into the
north-eastern region is fantastic news for the area which is very
dependent on tourism,” he said. “More to the point this means the
entire country’s tourism industry, particularly in the main
tourism gateways of Viti Levu, the Mamauca and Yasawa Islands, is
more or less back on track.”
