He emphasized that this award reflects Fiji Airports’ steadfast commitment to governance, management, and a continuous quest for excellence.
Nawari shared his surprise at the accolade, particularly as 2025 was originally designated as a foundational year. He acknowledged the invaluable support of the board, management, and the planning and monitoring evaluation unit, under the guidance of Manager Patrick Morel. Special recognition was also given to Bob, the Director of the Productivity Centre, and the FBEA team for their contributions.
The CEO highlighted that the achievements of Fiji Airports stem from collaborative efforts within the aviation sector. He mentioned the intention to share valuable insights gained from the FBEA process with industry partners to enhance sustainability, promote gender equity, and foster social inclusion.

Moreover, Nawari encouraged stakeholders within the industry to engage in similar evaluations, underscoring the importance of external reviews in driving progress throughout the aviation sector. He expressed excitement over the collective celebration of this achievement within the Fiji Airports community, viewing it as a shared step towards greater excellence.
