## Description

The code LIF belongs to Wanaham airfield on Lifou, the largest of New Caledonia's Loyalty Islands. Air Calédonie ATR turboprops connect it to Nouméa and to neighbouring Maré, while the island itself draws cruise calls to the bay of Easo. There is no dedicated cargo terminal: time-critical or heavier air freight is consolidated through the international hub at La Tontouta. Day-to-day, the airport moves passengers, mail and modest general-cargo volumes for local supply, making it a feeder point rather than a freight gateway for forwarders.
