About Gau Airport
Gau Airport (NGI / NFNG) is a compact domestic airstrip serving Gau Island, operated under the oversight of Airports Fiji Limited as part of the national network of outer island facilities. The airport handles turboprop and small piston aircraft suited to its short-field runway, making it the domain of aircraft such as the Twin Otter and similar island-hopper platforms ideally configured for the conditions. Terminal infrastructure is modest and functional, reflecting the island’s character, with customs and biosecurity formalities for arriving passengers handled on-site by Fijian authorities in an efficient, low-volume environment. Its grass and sealed surface strip requires pilots with appropriate island-operations experience and aircraft performance credentials. The airport’s position in the Lomaiviti Group places it within a short flying time of Suva’s Nausori Airport, making it a natural final leg for travellers arriving from Fiji’s capital.
