The event was co-officiated by the Australian High Commissioner, His Excellency Peter Roberts, and Permanent Secretary Salaseini Daunabuna, who represented Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Tourism and Civil Aviation, Hon. Viliame Gavoka, a testament to the strong partnership between Fiji and the Government of Australia in delivering a strategic roadmap for Fiji’s aviation future.

The strategy reinforces aviation as a pillar of national development, supporting tourism, trade, jobs, and regional cooperation, while ensuring growth remains sustainable, inclusive, and resilient.

The Government reaffirmed that the Master Plan is more than a policy document. It is a national commitment to build a modern aviation sector that connects people, strengthens the economy, and supports the future of Fiji.
