airfares

Domestic travellers, business operators on Vava’u infuriated with excessive airfares

Tongovua Appleton who operates a business on Vava’u said it costs 310 pa’anga for a person to fly from Tongatapu to Vava’u.

“That is beyond most of our people’s pay limits and if there are emergencies and we don’t have 310 pa’anga for that fare, how are we going to get to Tongatapu because we all know that taking the ferries will take longer than the planes.”
