context_page_description: Lifuka Island Airport, also known as Salote Pilolevu Airport or Haʻapai Airport, is an airport on Lifuka in Tonga. The airport is located 5 km north of the capital Panga, and is only served domestically, roughly 40 minutes by flight to Tongatapu and 30 minutes to Vava'u. Taxis serve the airport, and services include a cafe inside the terminal.
  One of the airport's most unique features is the dirt road intersecting the runway. Gates staffed by airport employees are used to prevent access during aircraft operation, the rest of the airport otherwise secured with barbed wire fencing.
  There is no aviation fuel or refuelling service for aircraft available at the airport.
