The extension of the Nausori Airport Runway is expected to start in a couple of months’ time.
Fiji Airports Executive Chairman Faiz Khan says the board has a conditional approval for a contractor.
Khan says that they are hoping to overcome these conditions in the next couple of weeks and execute the contract.
Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says that the Environmental Impact Assessment has been done for the extension of the runway.
Sayed-Khaiyum also highlighted that the night lights at the Labasa Airport have been installed awaiting commencement of night flights in the next couple of months.
There is also good news for the people that want to travel to Rotuma as the runway expansion project is almost complete and awaiting scheduled operations from September.
Sayed-Khaiyum says this will allow larger aircraft operations that in turn will mean economic growth through tourism and trade.
