Fiji Airports Ramps Up Operations
Fiji Airports is ramping up its Nadi International Airport operations in anticipation of when borders are fully reopened.
Fiji Airports chairman, Geoffrey Shaw, said Nadi International Airport operations continued to evolve, even when the borders were partially opened.
Fiji Airports is preparing to welcome back visitors for the first time since March 2020, he said.
“Over this period, there has been a dedicated and focussed effort on achieving necessary operational readiness by all Fiji Airports team members,” Mr Shaw said.
“We are prepared and look forward to safely welcoming our returning international visitors under what is now the new normal.”
Accreditation
Nadi International Airport is accredited by Airports Council International, and has been awarded its Airport Health Accreditation.
“This milestone and internationally accepted accreditation confirms Nadi International Airport as a safe and desirable travel destination,” Mr Shaw said.
“The entire international terminal is continuously and rigorously disinfected and sanitised.
“Our facilities and passenger processes are aligned and adhere to COVID-19 safety protocols and procedures to ensure the safety and wellbeing of travellers.
“The health and safety of our passengers is our number one priority when international travel resumes.”
Bookings
Fiji Airports acting chief executive officer, Isei Tudreu, said it was
encouraging to see airlines taking bookings for a Fiji holiday in December.
The transition will be from handling cargo and repatriation flights for over a year, to safely handling passenger flights.
“Our airline partners Fiji Airways, Qantas and Virgin Australia have started taking passenger bookings for December.
“An important function will be slot management to ensure each flight is safely processed.
“Fiji Airports is regularly meeting with our airport stakeholders to show the world that we are ready to welcome passengers back.”
