New Caledonia - Transport

Transport

Tontouta International Airport is located 50 km north of Noumea, and connects New Caledonia with the airports of Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, Auckland, Brisbane, Osaka, Papeete, Fiji, Wallis, Port Vila, Seoul, and St. Denis. Most internal air services are operated by the domestic carrier Air Calédonie. Cruise ships dock at the Gare Maritime in Noumea. The passenger and cargo boat Havannah sails to Port Vila, Malicolo and Santo in Vanuatu once a month.

New Caledonia's road network consists of:

  • Route territoriale 1, going from the exit from Noumea to the Néhoué river, north of Koumac;
  • Route territoriale 2, located on Lifou Island and from the Wanaham airport to the south of Wé;
  • Route territoriale 3, from the junction with the RT1 in Nandi up to Tiwaka;
  • Route territoriale 4, from the junction with the RT1 near Muéo to the power plant.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:

    One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
