Airports Fiji Limited had to close the Nausori Airport yesterday due to runway sealing works.
AFL confirms that it has been carrying out runway crack sealing works at night at Nausori Airport over the last two weeks.
A liquified sealant is poured over the cracks to seal them off.
The contractor carrying out these works is SuperSealing out of Australia.
AFL says it had become apparent to them that the sealant applied on Saturday night could not dry within the 30 minutes specified.
They then took the precautionary measures and closed Nausori Airport runway until 2pm while the company tried to find temporary and longer term solutions.
We will have more later today.
