MFJ is the airport code for Moala Airport, the small airfield on Moala, an island in the Lau region of eastern Fiji, in the South Pacific. Moala is the largest and northernmost island of the Moala group, a cluster of high volcanic islands lying between the main Fijian islands and the remote Lau archipelago further east. It is a green, hilly island of villages, gardens, forest and coast, with a traditional Fijian way of life, well off the usual tourist track. Moala is a quiet outer island rather than a resort destination, of interest for its remoteness, its scenery and its strong village culture. Flights are infrequent: Moala is served by small aircraft from Suva, the Fijian capital, on the main island of Viti Levu, with only a few services a month, so any visit needs careful planning. The climate is warm and tropical, with a wetter, cyclone-risk season around the start of the year.

What is MFJ airport?
MFJ is Moala Airport, a small airfield on the island of Moala in the Lau region of eastern Fiji. It serves this remote outer island with infrequent flights by small aircraft from Suva, the capital. Moala is a quiet, traditional island rather than a resort destination, so travel there requires advance planning.
How do you get to Moala?
Moala is reached by small aircraft from Suva, on Fiji's main island of Viti Levu, but flights are infrequent, sometimes only a few times a month, and fill quickly. Some travel is also by boat. Because services are limited, visits to Moala need to be planned and booked well in advance.
Are there rental cars or transfers on Moala?
