“This global recognition underscores Fiji’s breathtaking views, natural beauty and tranquillity when landing at Nadi International Airport.”
This was the sentiment by Fiji Airports Chairman, Geoffrey Shaw in a statement after the Nadi International Airport was named in the Top 10 Most Scenic Airports in the world by voters from around the globe.
“We can proudly boast having one of the best scenic arrival and departure experiences in the world,” Mr Shaw said.
“The aviation industry is facing massive challenges in these demanding times with tourism and international air travel at a virtual standstill due to COVID-19. Being rated in the Top 10 Most Scenic Airports Worldwide is a reminder of how Fiji’s appeal is embraced by international travellers. We can’t wait to welcome back our international visitors when travel resumes,” he said.
Meanwhile, the results were revealed last night by PrivateFly who carried out the annual Scenic Airports Poll.
Nadi is ranked 10th in the World’s Most Scenic Airports and 2nd in the Australasia region.
The 2020 PrivateFly Scenic Airport Poll was conducted between February and March this year.
Voters said “The views of the Nadi bay and mountainous regions are amazing when landing.”
“Just getting into the Nadi International Airport you see the mountain ranges and the islands, just out floating over the Pacific Ocean. Just picture perfect, and breathtaking.”
“It has the breathtaking views of the sunrise and the iconic sleeping giant mountain on the backdrop.”
