AIRPORTS FIJI LIMITED
Government Commercial Company
established on 12 April 1999, as a result
of the Civil Aviation Reform Act 1996
Formed following the reorganization of
the former Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji
(CAAF)

Navigation Services, which includes,
Airport Management, Communications,
Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic
Management

AIRPORTS FIJI LIMITED
Responsible for the provision of Air
Navigation Services within two
international airports and 13 domestic
airports
Responsible for the provision of air traffic
services within an airspace area of 6
million square kilometers known as the

Beginning
How did Airports Fiji Limited and
Air Traffic Management got
involved in GIS.
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
8
INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION
ORGANISATION - ICAO
A specialised agency of the United
Nation created in 1944
Promote the safe and orderly
development of international civil
aviation throughout the world
Also set the standards and regulation
necessary for aviation
safety,security,efficiency,regularity and
environmental protection
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
9
ICAO
Consists of 192 Contracting
States.
Head Office is located in
Montreal Canada.
Fiji is a member of ICAO.
Contracting States are divided
into regions based on locations
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
10
ICAO
Divided member states into
regions
States within the Nadi FIR are
part of the Asia – Pacific Region
ICAO initiatives and
requirements are driven at
regional levels
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
11
Requirements by ICAO
States to implement WGS-84
States to implement e TOD and
aerodrome mapping using GIS
Comply with data quality and
integrity
Maps and charts to be in
electronic form
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
12
Using GIS to implement
e TOD
In 2008 a resolution passed by
ICAO for States to implement
electronic terrain and obstacles
data using GIS
Aerodrome Mapping database
using GIS
Data to be provided for three
basic coverage areas
Shall be implemented and
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
13
made available to airlines
Coverage Areas
Area1-whole of Fiji
Area 2- 45km radius from the
aerodrome reference
point(ARP)
Area 3-specified distances from
the edge of an aerodrome

AERODROME MAPPING
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011

GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
17
Aerodrome Mapping
 AMDB design is based on the
application of GIS principles and
the use of ISO19100 standards
for geographic information.
AMDB defines Aerodrome
Mapping geographic features
such as Taxiway Element, Stand
Guidance Line, etc…, and its
associated attributes.
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
18
Aerodrome Mapping
including provisions for ISO19115
Metadata elements
ISO19131 Data Product
Specification elements.
 AMDB feature layers.

GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011

GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
20
ADMB Features
Layers may be combined with
other layers.
This GIS layered approach
enables further information
overlays such as with traffic, taxi
path for guidance, Digital
Notam and Meteorological
information.
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
21
ADMB Features
Based on ortho-rectified aerial
imagery restitution
Digitized as spatial elements
following defined geometrical
constraints
GIS best practice

23
What did AFL do?
Approach SOPAC to advise us
on the possibility of a way
forward
Gather as much information
from SOPAC including GIS
Brief the AFL Board on what is
needed
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
24
What have we achieved
Our AIS officers have been
trained by SOPAC on the basics
of GIS
SOPAC assisted us by providing
Global Mapper and Quantum
GIS to start off
AFL board have approved and
purchased our MapInfo software
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
25
What have we achieved
Engage USP Final Year GIS
students through SOPAC to
undertake project work on DTM
for Nausori Airport Area 2
Created a map for the Nadi
Airport Wildlife Grid
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
26
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
27
Planned GIS Activities
Creating aeronautical database
with the assistance of SOPAC
Transferring datas from existing
Excel data to Access
Digitising physical features within
the aerodrome and extracting
coordinates to Access tables
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
28
Future GIS Projects
Create DTM for Nadi Airport
Area 2 and Area 3
Create DTM for Labasa Airport
Area 2
Create DTM for Savusavu and
Matei Airports
Create a database for all of
AFL`s assets
GIS USER CONFERENCE - 2011
