Decision matrix for NAN
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
NAN uses Pacific/Fiji (FJT, UTC+12:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Nadi International Airport is about 5.1 km from central Nadi; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
SUV Nausori is the closest retained alternate at 123 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
airportsfiji.com is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
