Nadi is the major international airport in Fiji. At night, landing is prohibited on runways 20 and 27 and takeoff prohibited on runway 09. One prominent feature of operations at Nadi is the regular use of SODROPS (Simultaneous Opposite Direction Runway OPerations). This means that RWY 02 is used for landing and RWY 20 is used for takeoff. Hopefully our approach controller for the evening will liven things up by employing this mode of operation. When SODROPS are in force aircraft should anticipate a holding requirement as the number of departures and arrivals that can be accomodated in this mode is limited.
