PACIFIC Sun will now resume full operations to Waiqele Airport in Labasa.

The airline yesterday announced the resumption of all its flights between Suva, Nadi and Labasa.

In a statement yesterday, Pacific Sun spokesman Shane Hussein said all their Labasa-bound flights would now operate normally as scheduled.

"Pacific Sun wishes to announce that all its flights to the Labasa Airport are now operating as scheduled," Mr Hussein said.

Pacific Sun flew test flights to Labasa over the weekend to first address its safety concerns before making a decision on full operation.

It stated the first flight touched down on Saturday while others landed on the new tarmac on Sunday.

The resumption of such services has been applauded not only by customers but also the business community in the north.
