Good news for residents of the Northern Division as the temporary terminal at Waiqele Airport in Labasa is now open and operational, following the commencement of services yesterday.

Speaking to fijivillage News, traveller Deana Wati who was flying from Labasa to Suva says that she is satisfied with the improved facilities.

Wati says the addition of air conditioning systems provides passengers with a more comfortable experience.

She adds that the upgraded services are safer and that the environment is much cleaner and welcoming.

The Fiji Airport is urging that due to ongoing construction, parking and terminal space will be limited for the next 18 months.

They say access to the terminal will be restricted to passengers and cargo consignors only.
