Nadi International Airport
Nadi International Airport (IATA: NAN, ICAO: NFFN) is the main international
airport for the Republic of Fiji as well as an important regional hub for the
South Pacific islands, located by the coast on the western side of the main
island Viti Levu. It is the main hub of
Fiji Airways and its
domestic and regional subsidiary Fiji Link. The airport is 10 km from the city
of Nadi and 20 km from the city of Lautoka.
Despite being Fiji's main airport, it is quite far away, about 192 kilometres
(119 mi) northwest of the country's capital Suva and its airport, Nausori
International Airport.
Arrivals and departures are much preferred to be to the south, due to the
closeness of the Sabeto mountain range to the immediate north of the airport. A
large turn around area, suitable for Boeing 747s, is to the left of the
threshold of Runway 02, in case meteorological factors make departure to the
north necessary.
Today, the largest concentration of hotels in Fiji has grown up in and around
Nadi. As tourism took off in the 1960s, the resorts under construction in the
nearby Mamanuca Islands and Denarau Island cemented Nadi as the centre of Fiji's
tourism industry.
The airport resides at an elevation of 59 ft (18 m) above mean sea level. It has
two asphalt surface runways. One with designated 02/20 which is measuring at
10,739 ft (3,273 m) in length. Another runway is designated 09/27 which is
measuring at 7,007 ft (2,136 m) in length.
