FIJI Airports employees went through an Artificial Intelligence training as part of its ongoing digital transformation and increased staff capability strategies.
The program equipped more than 30 staff members from key departments including Air Traffic, Safety and Risk, Airside Operations, Electrical and Mechanical and Airport Management.
Fiji Airports CEO Mesake Nawari investing in staff capability was critical to the organisation’s long-term growth and competitiveness.
“This training reflects our vision to empower staff with the skills and confidence to embrace innovation and make informed decisions that drive performance and align with our strategic direction,” said Mr Nawari in a statement.
“With the aviation industry evolving rapidly, it is important that our workforce evolves with it.”
“By strengthening digital literacy and AI capability across the organisation, we are laying the foundation for smarter operations, improved efficiency, and better customer outcomes.”
Fiji Airports general manager Finance Sanjana Mishra said Artificial Intelligence gave the organisation an opportunity to think differently.
“It can help us improve decision-making, strengthen operational efficiency, better understand data, identify risks, and support enhanced business growth,” Ms Mishra said.
“It also allows us to explore new ways of solving problems that may have seemed complex in the past.”
To conduct the training, the State agency recruited Caribbean data transformation strategist and AI expert Leslie Fook who explained companies that invested in the tool was positioning themselves to lead in the future.
“It is encouraging to see Fiji Airports taking deliberate steps to build a culture of innovation, adaptability, and informed decision-making across its workforce,” said Mr Fook.
