Bauerfield International Airport runway

Asphalt work on Vanuatu’s Bauerfield runway

The existing asphalt surface which has been there since it was overlaid 18 years ago in 2000 has now been ripped up and replaced at the northern end of the runway.

The works include expanding the turning node at the northern end of the runway, to allow for ICAO compliance Code E aircrafts such as the B777/B787 Series, or even A330 aircrafts.

The airfield lighting upgrade works have commenced with the installation of new service pits for the new LED lighting system.
