Machinery and three million for North

According to the Fiji Sun the Works Ministry says at least three million dollars will be needed to repair infrastructure damaged in the Northern division in the wake of Hurricane Tomas.

Ministry spokesperson Sainiana Waqainabete is quoted as saying that machinery is also ready to be delivered to the North for restoration works.

“We’ve got machinery ready that is on standby to travel up to the North on Monday. This is 3 diggers and additional graders that will be sent up to compliment the current fleet that is operating in the North.”

Some machinery is also ready to go to Lau.

“We also like to assure you – the islands in the Lau Group namely – Vanuabalavu, Cicia and Lakeba - that were affected will also have a fleet of machinery sent to their various places on board the Vatulawa – this evening if all goes to plan – if not – the vessel leaves tomorrow. The full operation that we’ve earmarked is two weeks exactly after Tomas."

The Works ministry says it will take at least month for permanent restoration to the cyclone devastated areas.

Fumes force Fiji Airways flight on way to NZ to turn back

Post by Duniya Ke Samachar.

A passenger plane travelling from Fiji to New Zealand was forced to turn around when its cabin filled with fumes and an oil smell overnight.

The airline, Fiji Airways, said this afternoon the Boeing 737-800 was on its way to Auckland from Nadi.

"This morning at 0017 we had an air turn back on one of our B737-800s ..... due to fumes and oil smell reported in the cabin," Fiji Airways managing director and chief executive Stefan Pichler said.

One person was seen by a doctor when the flight landed.

The aircraft landed safely without incident.

The aircraft is currently in the hangar and our engineers are investigating what may have caused the defect," he said.

Passengers were booked on the next available flight, Mr Pichler said.
