History
Funafuti Airfield was built by United States Navy Seabee construction battalions in 1943 during World War II. It was later sealed to create Funafuti International Airport.

During World War II, the American forces also built airfields on Nanumea and Motulalo, which is the largest atoll of Nukufetau. After the war these two airfields were dismantled.
