Nusatupe Airport
 |
Nusatupe Airport is an airport near Gizo, Solomon Islands (IATA: GZO, ICAO: AGGN) and is a regular Solomon Airlines destination. It was constructed during World War II to support USAAF operations by flattening two islands and joining them together using the spoil. It was subsequently redeveloped in 2011 under a New Zealand aid programme, removing an abrupt level change midway to provide a level strip. A boat shuttle service ferries passengers to Gizo. Private boats are able to load from the jetty.
