Asau Airport (IATA: AAU, ICAO: NSAU) is a small domestic airfield located in the thick dense jungle at the northwest end of Savai'i in Samoa. The airport is in the village of Asau and mainly services chartered flights.[1] The original airport was constructed in 1969.[2] It was washed away by Cyclone Ofa in 1990, and the current airport was built to replace it in 1999.[3]
After being closed for six years the airport reopened in April 2021.[4]
