He says under the agreement, JICA will procure and install aircraft surveillance systems at the Nadi International Airport and Labasa Airport.

Rabuka says JICA will procure and deliver five fire trucks for Nausori, Labasa, Savusavu and Matei Airports and three rescue boats for Nadi International Airport

He says they will also provide consultancy services for improving aviation safety.

Airports Fiji operates the Nadi International Airport, Nausori Airport and 13 other outer island airports.
