Nadi International Airport (NAN)

Nadi International Airport (NAN) is the main international gateway to Fiji, located on the western coast of Viti Levu, roughly 10 kilometres north of central Nadi town and 20 kilometres from Port Denarau. The airport consists of a single integrated terminal building split into International and Domestic concourses. It handles almost all long-haul international flights into the country as well as domestic connections across the archipelago.
