Airlines Collect Departure Tax 

The collection of Departure Tax at Fua’amotu International Airport is now a thing of the past.

As of 1 February 2008, all applicable fees and taxes are now included in the cost of your ticket.

Incorporated into the ticket cost is $55 in fees and taxes, which is paid to Tonga Airports Limited by the airlines you traveled with.

These fees and taxes pay for the operation of the airport, ensure that safety and security are maintained to the highest standards, and over time, to the upgrading of passenger facilities.

The only persons exempt from these fees and taxes are infants under 2 years old who are not occupying a seat and certain diplomatic and airline staff.

Tonga Airports Limited essentially collects these monies from the people who use the airport, not from the broader community.

This is a fair and common practice employed by airports worldwide and serves to ensure the safety and convenience of those traveling.
