Funafuti International Airport (FUN)

Funafuti, Tuvalu

Overview

Funafuti International Airport is the only airport in Tuvalu and the nation's sole gateway for scheduled commercial flights. It is a small single-runway facility whose airstrip doubles as a community gathering space when no aircraft are present, and it is served by Fiji Airways flights to and from Suva.

Terminals

The airport has a single compact terminal building handling all arrivals and departures, with basic check-in counters and a small waiting area.

Transport to city center

Funafuti's settlement surrounds the airport directly, so the town centre is a short walk or motorbike ride away. Most accommodations are within a few minutes of the runway.

Lounges

There are no dedicated airline or pay-per-use lounges at this small island airport.

Travel tips

Flights are infrequent and weather-dependent, so confirm your schedule in advance and arrive early as procedures are manual. Bring cash, as card facilities are very limited on the atoll.
