Airport renovations expected to be completed before
Festival participants arrive
Renovations to the Tafuna International Airport are expected to be completed by the end of this month, prior to the arrival of the more than 2,000 people expected to travel to the territory for the 10th Festival of Pacific Arts which kicks off July 20.
The work includes extending and renovating the airport lounge, as well as a much needed facelift for the bathrooms. The arrival lounge has also been extended, and the once cramped luggage area now features more space.
And if that isn’t enough, even the paperwork process has been upgraded. Travelers will experience less time standing in the Immigration line as five counters, each being manned by two Immigration agents, will be open.
All of the renovation work, which reportedly amounts to an estimated $400K, was carried out thanks to monies collected from the passenger facility charge.
