How Not To Design Airport Facilities

TNCREASING numbers of people A people are asking for the name of the genius responsible for the design of the terminal building at Fiji’s Nadi airport.

Passengers going or coming through the bureaucratic machines which nowadays process all travellers —immigration, customs, health and what-not— are forced at Nadi to climb a flight of steep stairs, up one side and down the other, in order to get across a drive-way between the inside tarmac and the outside world For elderly people, and persons loaded with hand-luggage, this is quite an ordeal.

This writer has been on many of the world’s leading airways, and no where has he seen anything as absurd as the Nadi terminal arrangement.—
