Malolo Lailai Island Airport (PTF/NFFO) is a small airstrip on Malolo Lailai in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands, serving Plantation Island Resort, Musket Cove, and nearby resorts.

It is also known as Plantation Island Airport and is a convenient alternative to boat transfers for guests staying on the island.
💡 Local Tip
Ask your resort to coordinate your airstrip transfer with the boat schedule; some guests fly in and ferry out (or vice versa) to save money while still enjoying the scenic flight.
🚖 Getting There
Transfers are usually arranged in advance by your resort; many properties meet guests at the airstrip and take them by buggy, van, or boat to the front desk. If you are not on a resort package, confirm pickup details with the operator before arrival, as taxis and public transport are not available on the island. Luggage limits on small aircraft are strict, so pack light and verify weight allowances.
