This comes as part of an agreement between Fiji and the Solomons for Fiji to manage Solomon Islands upper air space.

AFL Chair, Adrian Sofield says AFL will provide a two year training program for Solomon Islands air traffic officials.

He says Airports Fiji has advanced technology in aviation and navigation and is at the forefront of these services - on par with Australia and New Zealand.

A delegation from the Solomon Islands was also shown facilities at the Air Traffic Control Tower in Nadi, Fiji recently.
