SEVEN rental car companies started operating from new rental car booths at Fiji’s main airport yesterday.
This comes after another key milestone was achieved in the Nadi airport terminal modernisation project (NATMP) with the opening of the brand new rental car area at the Nadi International Airport arrivals section.
“We hope the people of Fiji and our visitors enjoy this new experience that we have created.
“Previously rental car operators were situated in different locations at arrivals but now our visitors will find rental car services in a convenient central location,” said Airport Fiji Ltd (AFL) executive chairman Faiz Khan in a statement yesterday.
Mr Khan said extensive works were still being carried out as the NATMP was progressing towards completion later this year.
“We are delivering upgraded areas in stages whilst the airport remains operational.
“On 16th November last year the departures lounge was released to the public.
“Four new speciality retail outlets, Jewellery Galleria, WH Smith, Nike and Rip Curl have also opened earlier this month.”
Attorney-General and Minister for Public Enterprises Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum will announce a soft launch of the upgraded areas.
AFL is a fully owned Government commercial company established on April 12, 1999 under the Public Enterprise Act 1996.
AFL owns and manages Nadi International Airport, Fiji’s gateway to the world. It also manages, on behalf of Government, the Nausori International Airport and the 13 other outer island airports.
