The Fiji Airports Board of Directors have appointed Mr. Isei Tudreu as Acting Chief Executive Officer effective 01 July 2021, following a recent Board meeting.

Fiji Airports Chairman, Geoffrey Shaw said Isei presented as an ideal candidate, drawn from within the ranks of senior executives of the organisation, to fill this most necessary position and particularly so, given his extensive experience in the aviation industry.

“Fiji Airports has been without the benefit of a CEO since the tragic passing of Mr. Faiz Khan last year. In conjunction with my Board, we have provided management support in terms of guidance and direction for our organisation over the past 12 months. The Board will continue to lend its support and oversight in that sense, to ensure we position ourselves for the inevitable ramp up in business activity that will coincide with international boarders’ reopening,” Mr Shaw said.

“Mr Tudreu has and continues to enjoy an impressive career, beginning his journey as an Air Traffic Controller to his appointment as our General Manager, Air Traffic Management & Op-erations in February 2015. Prior to his appointment as GM, he held the position of Controller Ground Safety at the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji.”

“The Board recognises the importance of having a competent and experienced person in the role of Acting CEO, the organisation being as it is, a major contributor to the Fiji economy. This position is particularly relevant as we seek to overcome the prolonged effect of COVID-19 and its impact on our business.  The Board would like to congratulate and thank Isei for taking on this additional challenge during these unprecedented times,” Mr Shaw said.
