Hihifo Airport — Wallis Island, Wallis and Futuna

Hihifo Airport, designated WLS, provides the only paved-runway air link for Wallis Island, the smaller inhabited half of the French Pacific territory of Wallis and Futuna, situated between Fiji and Samoa. The modest single-runway facility handles limited scheduled traffic, with regional flights connecting the island to Nouméa in New Caledonia and to Fiji, alongside domestic hops to Futuna's own small airstrip. As one of the more isolated air links in the South Pacific, WLS sees no large commercial jets, relying instead on smaller regional aircraft suited to short distances and modest passenger numbers. The airport underpins essential connections for residents and the small number of visitors reaching Wallis, since sea transport to the territory remains slow and infrequent, leaving air travel through Hihifo as the practical way in and out for most people.
