Business Description

Background

Location

Financial Projection
AFL as a Government Commercial Company is one of the best performing state-owned enterprises. This year AFL gave an unprecedented dividend pay-out of $15m ($7.5m for 2014 and $7.5m for the first half of 2015) to the government. This is the highest ever dividend declared by a state-owned enterprise. The result is particularly exceptional as AFL is simultaneously undertaking major capital upgrade works at significant costs. Our record-breaking financial performance each year is due to our revenue restructure, which is expected to increase from $60m to $120m by 2017.

Other Notes
Nadi International Airport is Fiji’s gateway to the world and the first and last impression of our country. The $105-million refurbishment currently underway is pivotal in creating an attractive and modern Nadi International Airport. It’s not only about having a modern airport but also to create an experience for our passengers that will be remembered as one of the best in our part of the world.
Next year when the Nadi Airport Terminal Modernization Project (NATMP) will be completed, Fiji will proudly boast having one of the South Pacific’s most integral airport facility reflecting our position as the regional hub.
Aviation plays a crucial role in our economy and supports the tourism industry therefore by having a brand new and modern airport it will complement our image as a top tourist destination.
