Alstef Group awarded baggage system upgrade project at Nadi International Airport, Fiji

Delhi, 8th Sept 2025:

Alstef Group has been awarded the contract to upgrade the baggage handling system at Nadi International Airport, Fiji’s main international gateway, operated by Airports Fiji Limited (Fiji Airports).

Nadi International Airport handled 2.9 million passengers in 2024, cementing Fiji Airports vision of becoming the world-class aviation hub of the Blue Pacific.

Scope of the project includes:

• Upgrading 33 check-in counters with dual conveyors, allowing one conveyor for weigh-in and bag tagging and the second for bag queuing. This design increases throughput and improves passenger flow during peak travel periods.
• Installation of a new outbound screening line featuring upgraded Standard 3 x-ray equipment to enhance security and screening efficiency.
• Addition of one large new make-up carousel providing significant increase in capacity and operational flexibility.

The upgrades will deliver a more reliable and efficient baggage system, reduce congestion and manual handling, and future-proof the airport’s operations to meet Fiji’s growing aviation demands.

“Through this project, we are integrating cutting-edge technologies that will significantly enhance airport operations, streamline passenger journeys, and position Nadi International Airport for future growth.”said Fiji AirportsCEO Mesake Nawari.

“We are proud to support Fiji Airports in achieving this critical milestone,” said Arnaud Bouquet, Regional Sales Manager of Alstef Group. “This upgrade is about delivering the additional capacity and resilience Nadi International Airport needs to keep pace with rising passenger numbers well into the future.”
