Still Awaited
■ From Our Own Correspondent
Suva. Oct. 23.
IT is still not known whether Nadi, which has again been in the news, will be Fiji’s international airport.
Almost civil war broke out last year in Fiji between factions who favoured either Nadi in the “dry zone” and about 150 miles by road from Suva, the capital; or Nausori, in the wet zone but only about 17 miles from Suva.
The question has, however, been pon dered upon by international air experts and the final decision rests with them.
They have, to date, been so pondering for 18 months. So far without result.
In the meantime Pan American Airways and Australian National Airways con tinue to use Nadi.
Recently Nadi was again news when members of the Nadi Aerodrome Workers Union went on strike (see elsewhere this issue); they are still on strike at this writing.
Services are, however, being maintained with a scratch staff and everything is reported “quiet.”
