Airport guide

Lifuka Island Airport (NFTL) is a medium airport in Lifuka, Tonga. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code NFTL or IATA code HPA. It sits in Oceania.

Lifuka Island Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Lifuka Island Airport sits near sea level at 31 ft.

Local operations run on Pacific/Tongatapu. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
