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.

He says that Savusavu Town is developing rapidly and more investors are expected in future.

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