Nadi Airport. Historic Day Thursday 2 July 1959 - FIJI .

Nadi Airport, Thursday 2 July 1959—an important milestone in the development of aviation in Fiji. This image captures Fiji Airways’ VQ-FAL Heron positioned alongside Qantas’ newly delivered Boeing 707-138 (VH-EBB). At the time, a temporary parking and refuelling bay had been established adjacent to the Airport Fire Station and hangar area, with a bus service transporting passengers between the aircraft and the old terminal. Meanwhile, construction of the new terminal, along with upgraded taxiways and parking facilities, was underway.

Qantas inaugurated Trans-Pacific jet services on 29 July 1959, operating the Boeing 707 on the Sydney–Nadi–Honolulu–San Francisco route and return. Shortly thereafter, Pan American introduced similar jet services. Fiji Airways’ second DH.114 Series 1 Heron, VQ-FAL, was promptly deployed on the Suva–Nadi route, providing essential connections to international services operated by TEAL, Qantas Empire Airways, TAI, Pan American, and Canadian Pacific.
