Nadi Airport upgrade close to 50% completed

The upgrading of the Nadi International Airport Terminal is progressing well, with works nearing close to 50% and completion targeted by mid-2016.

Airports Fiji Limited Executive Chairman Faiz Khan says maintaining the airport operational is the main priority during the milestone project worth $105 million.

Khan says most of the works are being carried out at night when there are no flights to ensure passengers are not affected.

He says construction of the departures area on the first floor which has been redeveloped and extended is almost complete which will be launched around September.

Khan adds when completed Nadi International Airport will be the pride of Fiji with a modern look.
