Political unrest has escalated this week, with political demonstrations and protests occurring in New Caledonia and a state of emergency being declared in New Caledonia on Wednesday, 15 May 2024. A curfew is in place for the Noumea metropolitan area between 6PM and 6AM and local authorities have advised to strictly limit movement throughout the day.
The La Tontouta International Airport has closed and flights have been cancelled until at least Friday 17 May 2024.
The Australian Government have now raised their warning level to ‘Exercise a high degree of caution’ in New Caledonia overall due to protests and travel disruptions and ‘Reconsider your need to travel’ in metropolitan Noumea and the RT1 road to La Tontouta Airport due to civil unrest, travel disruptions and limited essential services.
