Regional aviation experts are meeting in Nadi this week to strengthen air safety across the Asia-Pacific.

While opening the workshop, Fiji Airports Chairman Isei Tudreu says growing air travel is putting pressure on existing systems, as increasing flight numbers continue to support tourism and trade while also raising the demand for more reliable air navigation services.

The meetings focus on improving communication systems and the exchange of aviation weather information, both key to safe and efficient operations.

Tudreu highlighted the need for modern, connected systems to handle future growth, adding that stronger communication improves coordination while accurate weather data supports safer flights.
