Nusatupe, Transport hub on small island near Gizo, Solomon Islands
The island houses Nusatupe Airport, which operates regular flights connecting multiple destinations across the Solomon Islands through its primary carrier Solomon Airlines.
During World War II, the United States Army Air Forces constructed the airport by combining two separate islands using excavated materials.
The WorldFish research center on Nusatupe leads investigations in fisheries and aquaculture, supporting local fishing traditions and marine resource management.
Water taxis and private boats transport passengers between the airport jetty and Gizo, with the journey taking approximately 10 minutes across the channel.
The airport underwent modifications in 2011 to eliminate a mid-runway elevation change, creating a continuous level surface for aircraft operations.
