The ramp operations at Nadi International Airport were suspended on behalf of Fiji Airports Limited due to dangerous weather conditions, impacting all airlines serving the airport. Fiji Airways announced its cancellation of the FJ915 flight to Sydney as a result of these interruptions. Delays of up to four hours occurred, with some incoming flights unable to disembark passengers because of occupied gates.

The situation unfolded after the Fiji Meteorology Service issued warnings about imminent severe weather, prompting the suspension of ramp operations. Subsequently, Fiji Airways reported that several flights were affected, including the cancellation of two return trips between Nadi and Suva operated by Fiji Link.

In light of these disruptions, Fiji Airways is actively working on mitigating the effects on passengers by offering supplementary flights, including one scheduled for this morning to Sydney, to accommodate those whose flights were canceled.

This incident underlines the complexity of air travel during adverse weather conditions and the operational challenges airlines face in ensuring passenger safety while maintaining service continuity. Although these disruptions can be challenging for travelers, the airline’s proactive measures to provide alternative options aim to minimize inconvenience.

Hope remains that the weather will soon stabilize, allowing operations to return to normal and ensuring passenger travel can proceed smoothly once again.
