NOUMEA — New Caledonia's main international airport will remain closed at least until Monday, the local air carrier said, more than two weeks after the French Pacific territory's hub was shut due to deadly unrest.

'As New Caledonia is still in a crisis situation, the High Commission announced an extension of the closure of Noumea-La Tontouta Airport until June 3 at 9 a.m.,' Aircalin said in a statement on Friday.
