Suva is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Nausori International Airport (SUV), 18 km (11 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,047 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nausori International Airport | SUV | 18 km (11 mi) | 7,047 ft | 17 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,047 ft, SUV handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 17 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
