Fua'amotu International Airport (NFTF) is an international airport on the main Tongan island of Tongatapu, Kingdom of Tonga. It is located on the south side of the main island, 35 km from the capital, Nuku'alofa. It was originally built with coral surface runways during World War 2 (WWII) as heavy bomber field.

Fua'amotu is suitable for up to Boeing 767 size aircraft, but remains closed to larger jets such as B747s. International airlines with regular services to Fua'amotu include Air New Zealand, Air Pacific, Pacific Blue Airlines and Polynesian Airlines. Air Pacific fly B737-800s from Nadi and Suva. Air New Zealand flies Airbus A320, B737-300s, and B767-300ERs from Auckland. Pacific Blue flies B737-800s to Fua'amotu from Sydney and Auckland. Polynesian Airlines also flies in from Pago Pago and Apia using Twin Otters (DHC6-300).

The airport and the whole island of Tongatapu was developed in FSX with true-to-life precision which means that we used exact lat/lon coordinates and adopted photoreal background images to resemble RW counterpart. The international and domestic terminal buildings, and surroundings are also created with realistic accuracy.
