Nadi International Airport NAN / NFFN

The sole total-ground-handling provider at Nadi International Airport for passenger, ramp, load control and aircraft turnaround services since 1981, when it took over from Qantas Airways Limited; IATA ISAGO-registered (ISAGO-ACC-24-2154, first ground handler in the Pacific to enter the registry), ISO 9001 QMS certified (ats.com.fj).

Local Jet A-1 supplier at Nadi Airport; ch-aviation's August 2026 coverage of the Nadi contaminated-fuel/Jet A-1 shortage confirms customers under Petro Oceania Energy contracts (along with Fiji Airways) were exempted from the tankering requirement imposed on other operators. Established June 2024 following its acquisition of Mobil Oil (Fiji) / the Fiji assets of ExxonMobil (deal cleared by the FCCC, closed Dec 2023) by the Punja and Pillay families; now the official Mobil-fuels distributor in Fiji. Exact into-plane operating subsidiary name and a Nadi-specific (vs. Suva HQ) contact could not be confirmed.

Provides contracted aircraft line/transit maintenance at Nadi, describing itself as one of few handling companies globally approved for full line maintenance on modern aircraft types (B787, A320/330, B737/747/757/767/777, DC10, MD11), with licensed engineers on hand 24/7; Engineering Services desk (Ext. 2240, •••) confirmed via ats.com.fj contact directory.

In-house line/transit maintenance and defect rectification for Fiji Airways' own fleet at its Maintenance & Administration Centre ("The Hangar"), Nasoso Road, Nadi Airport (self-handled, confirmed via Fiji Airways' own headquarters listing).

Fiji Airways Engineering holds hangar facilities at Nadi and performs pre-check assessment and rectification in-house, but heavy/base maintenance is contracted out: A330 heavy maintenance is held by Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) under a deal extended to 2031, and A350 component maintenance has been with AFI KLM E&M since 2019 (FBC News, AviTrader, Aviation Week, Mar 2025); A350/A330 outstation line maintenance is handled separately by Wright International (Vancouver) and Heston MRO (Cairns). An earlier draft's claim that heavy checks are ferried to Nelson, NZ and to HAECO for A350 base maintenance is not supported: Air New Zealand's Nelson heavy-maintenance facility closed in 2020 (89 jobs cut), and no HAECO-Fiji Airways relationship was found. No confirmed D-check/heavy-overhaul capability is based at Nadi itself, so hangar-check scope remains unconfirmed.

In-flight catering for airlines operating at Nadi; ats.com.fj cites compliance with IATA Food Safety standards and regular hygiene/microbiological audits by client airlines; dedicated Catering Services contact (Ext. 2300, •••) confirmed.

Cabin Services at Nadi: aircraft cabin cleaning and re-dressing (vacuuming, seat-pocket clearing, tray sanitizing, blanket/pillow stowing) on tight 20-30 minute turnarounds, run as a distinct 24-hour-rostered service within ATS's total ground handling remit (ats.com.fj service listing).

ATS operates its own ramp ground-support-equipment fleet at Nadi as part of its total ground handling remit; ats.com.fj references "upgraded equipment, technology and well-trained staff" to handle freighters transiting Nadi. Specific equipment claims in an earlier draft (FMC main-deck loaders, Trepel 7-tonne loaders, B747-capable mobile stairs, "unmatched in the South Pacific," A380 capability) do not appear anywhere on ats.com.fj despite checking every service and about-us page, and could not be verified elsewhere; dropped pending a primary source.

Operates Nadi's 15,000 sq ft cargo terminal handling all import/export/transhipment cargo with 24-hour documentation, a 12-tonne weighbridge and ULD transfer vehicle described as the only one in Fiji; dedicated Cargo & Ramp Services desk (•••, •••) confirmed via ats.com.fj contact directory. · 24 hours

Airport operator self-provides passenger, baggage and cargo security screening and customs coordination at Nadi International Airport terminal (fijiairports.com; phone ••• confirmed via multiple directories). A 2025 upgrade (Rapiscan/Alstef contracts, ~US$8-26m project) is replacing legacy hold-baggage machines with ECAC Standard 3 / TSA 7.2 compliant screening on a new outbound line — this part is genuinely recent. The airport has separately run a biometric access-control system (4C Security Solutions) since a much earlier (c.2009) upgrade; that system is real but long-standing, not a recent addition, and an earlier draft's framing of both as "recent" is corrected here.

Commonly used for airline transit/layover stays per traveler reviews, though no specific airline crew-contract was found and is therefore unconfirmed.

Located at Namaka Hill, a 5-minute drive from Nadi Airport; offers continental breakfast from 5:30am for guests leaving before 6am, positioning it as a layover hotel — location, early-breakfast detail, phone and email all confirmed via Accor's official Novotel Nadi listing. No specific airline crew-contract was found and is therefore unconfirmed.
