Fiji Airports will operate the newly constructed temporary terminal at the Waiqele Airport in Labasa from Monday next week.
The temporary terminal will pave the way for the commencement of a brand new $8 million airport project set to commence next month.
“Please note that due to ongoing construction, parking and terminal space will be limited for the next 18 months,” said Fiji Airports CEO, Mesake Nawari.
“To minimize congestion, access to the terminal will be restricted to passengers and cargo consignors only.
“We kindly request the understanding and cooperation of travelers, farewell groups, and meet-and-greet parties during this period.
Mr Nawari added it has taken decades to upgrade Waiqele Airport.
“This is all part of the ongoing plans to improve our airports subject to availability of funds,”
Waiqele is a government owned airport and managed by Fiji Airports, alongside 13 other airports around Fiji.
The Nadi International Airport is the only airport owned and managed by Fiji Airports and the only profitable airport at this time.
