Kaufana Airport is on Eua Island some 30km from the main Island of Tonga. The upgrading report was commissioned by Tonga Airport Authority (TAL) of Tonga who required upgrading the airport to allow for improved conditions for an all weather operation for the airport.
The preparation of the proposed upgrading work and the reporting is based on using the New Zealand Civil Aviation (NZCA) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Standards.
The airport needed to be upgraded to meet NZCA & ICAO standards. Pavement investigation was also done to determine bearing capacity of the existing and proposed new extensions
The project was funded by the Government of New Zealand as a demonstration of New Zealand's commitment to assisting Tonga to develop its tourism sector.
