During his visit to Northern Division for 2017/2018 National Budget Consultation, a resident Justin Hunter told him that government should widen the Savusavu Airport as the town is getting populated every day.

Sayed-Khaiyum told the residents that he will talk to experts from Airports Fiji Limited on the issue.
