This marks the first installation of such a system in the Pacific Islands region.
Serving Vanua Levu, Fiji's second-largest island, the project represents a significant step in modernizing Fiji's air traffic management services, aiming to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen safety, and support the resilience of regional aviation operations. The project is part of the Fijian government's tourism infrastructure investment, supported by the World Bank-funded Fiji Tourism Development Programme in Vanua Levu. Led by the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation, in collaboration with Fiji Airports and other implementing partners, the program coordinates investments to strengthen regional connectivity, improve infrastructure and services, and promote sustainable tourism development in Vanua Levu and Taveuni.
Adacel CEO Daniel Verret stated that Fiji Airports' selection of Adacel to deliver the project reflects a shared commitment to enhancing regional aviation capabilities. He noted that the company's REVAL remote tower solution is a certified, operational, and field-proven platform that provides enhanced situational awareness and operational resilience, offering a scalable approach to modernizing airport services and enabling customers to expand capabilities over time while maintaining long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Mesake Seavula Nawari, CEO of Fiji Airports, said the project marks a significant milestone in modernizing Fiji's air traffic management services, reflecting the company's commitment to providing safe, efficient, and resilient aviation operations for the people of Vanua Levu. He pointed out that by introducing remote tower technology at Labasa Airport, Fiji is enhancing the reliability and sustainability of aviation services, improving connectivity, and supporting the continued growth of tourism and economic opportunities in the Northern Division. As the first remote tower installation in the Pacific Islands region, the project positions Fiji at the forefront of aviation innovation in the area, demonstrating a commitment to investing in future-ready infrastructure.
Under the contract, Adacel will deploy its REVAL digital tower system in a remote tower configuration, including a Remote Tower Module (RTM) installed at Labasa Airport and a Remote Tower Centre at the Nadi operations center. This architecture enables real-time operational visibility and control from a centralized facility, supporting safe and efficient remote service delivery. The system provides high-resolution external views through an advanced camera system, combined with intelligent video processing and enhancements, to deliver enhanced situational awareness and support safe and effective operations under various conditions.
