Delivering World-Class Airport Infrastructure

At Fiji Airports (FA), we are committed to delivering and maintaining world-class airport infrastructure that keeps Fiji connected to the region and the world. Our facilities are designed and managed to meet the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and innovation, ensuring smooth and secure operations for passengers, airlines, and service providers.

From runway surfaces to airfield lighting, from navigation systems to terminal safety technologies, our engineering teams work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that a strong technical foundation supports every flight.

Engineering Excellence Through ANES

Our Air Navigation Engineering Services (ANES) division plays a critical role in maintaining the technical backbone of air navigation and airport systems across all FA-operated airports. ANES ensures the seamless operation of:

  • Air Traffic Management Systems
  • Navigational Aids and Instrument Landing Systems (ILS)
  • VHF and HF Communication Infrastructure
  • Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems
  • Passenger Check-in & Security Screening Systems
  • Common Tower Displays and Weather Monitoring Tools

Each of these components is vital to the safe, efficient, and compliant operation of our airports.

Safety First, Always

At FA, safety is not just a priority; it’s a culture. Our systems are rigorously maintained and aligned with both international and national aviation regulations. We follow standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Air Transport Association (IATA), and the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji (CAAF), and we ensure compliance through regular inspections, system calibrations, and continuous staff training.

ANES engineers utilise highly specialised tools and diagnostic software, ranging from RF signal analysers and optic fibre testers to network monitoring systems, to ensure that every piece of equipment performs as expected.

Smart Systems, Safer Skies

Recent infrastructure and systems upgrades have significantly enhanced the reliability and safety of our airport operations:

  • VHF Radio Upgrade – Transitioned to a modern IP-based system compatible with international ED-137 standards.
  • ILS Installation – Upgraded Nadi’s ILS and introduced the first-ever ILS at Nausori Airport.
  • ADS-B Tier 1 Surveillance – Enabling 5NM aircraft separation for better control in domestic airspace.
  • Hybrid Communication Network – Strengthened connectivity across both Nadi and Nausori airports.
  • Smart Tools for ATC – Real-time monitoring for weather, navigational aids, and automated flight information broadcasts.

Innovation for the Future

Our engineering teams are embracing next-generation technology to make airports safer, more efficient, and future-ready:

  • Facial Recognition E-Gates for streamlined passenger processing.
  • CT Scanners to enhance baggage screening accuracy and speed.
  • Virtual Machines to replace physical servers for improved system resilience.
  • Digital Tower Simulator for advanced air traffic control training.
  • SWIM (System Wide Information Management) to enable real-time data exchange between aviation stakeholders globally.

Aerodrome Services ensure that runways, taxiways, and airport facilities are safe and operational. The team manages lighting, signage, surface inspections, and overall air-side maintenance.

Air Navigation Engineering supports the technology behind safe and efficient air travel. It involves the design, maintenance, and monitoring of systems that guide aircraft through controlled airspace.
