Tonga airports almost complete big upgrade

From April Tongatapu's Fua'amotu airport will be able to receive Air New Zealand's Boeing 777 flights and Vava'u in the north will receive international flights from Fiji.

While work on the runways is complete, there is still upgrades to the terminal, security and navigation equipment to finish.
