Airports at each end
Leaving Lima

Arriving in Alofi
Alofi is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Niue International Airport (IUE), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,660 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Niue International Airport (regional) | IUE | 3 km (2 mi) | 7,660 ft | 209 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 9,871 km (6,133 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
