About Nadi International Airport

Nadi International Airport (NAN) is the main international gateway to Fiji, serving the town of Nadi and the resort areas of western Viti Levu. About 97 percent of Fiji's international travelers arrive here, and it is the hub of Fiji Airways, which flies to Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, Asia and North America. Air New Zealand, Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia add flights from Auckland and Australian cities, and smaller carriers link Nadi with Nouméa, Port Moresby, Honiara and Nauru.

The airport has an international terminal and a domestic terminal a short walk apart. Fiji Link flights to Suva, Labasa, Savusavu, Taveuni and other islands, and charter flights to island resorts, leave from the domestic side.

The airport stands in Namaka, about 10 km north of Nadi town and 20 km south of Lautoka. Denarau Island, with its resorts and Port Denarau Marina, is about 14 km away, usually a 20 to 25 minute drive. Port Denarau is where ferries leave for the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands. The Coral Coast is about two hours south by road, and Suva, the capital, about three and a half hours away on the other side of Viti Levu.

Arrival tips for Nadi International Airport

Fill in the Fiji Passenger Arrival Card on the plane; every traveler needs one, children included, and you keep it for immigration and biosecurity. Visitors from many countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, receive a visitor permit on arrival, and your passport must be valid for at least six months.

At passport control, join the line under the International Passport Holders sign. A group of singers often welcomes arriving flights here. Go down the short set of stairs to baggage claim, where screens on each carousel show the flight number. Then hand your arrival card to the customs and biosecurity officer and put all your bags through the X-ray. Declare any food, plants or animal products, or drop them in the amnesty bins.

The Arrivals Hall has currency exchange, phone company stores selling local SIM cards, travel desks, car rental counters and a café. Pre-booked drivers wait here with a name sign, and taxis wait just outside. For a domestic flight, walk to the domestic terminal with the building on your right.

Fiji is on Fiji Time (UTC+12), and the currency is the Fijian dollar (FJD).
