Indra has formalized an agreement with Airports Fiji Ltd. (AFL) to install new Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) to support landing maneuvers at the international airports of Nadi and Nausori. The total project has a budget of 6M FJ$ (2,7 M€).
Indra will replace the current ILS/DME at Nadi International Airport with no downtime in the service ensuring that the airport can continue to operate in all weather conditions during the implementation phase. Nausori Airport is currently not equipped with an ILS/DME system. The installation this latest technology equipment will greatly enhance both safety and reliability of flights in and out of Nausori.
The NORMARC 7000 ILS and NORMARC LDB-103 DME allow for safe landings in all types of weather hence increasing revenues for airports and reducing costs for airlines.
