Helicopters from HMAS Adelaide flew more than 166 hours, delivering 71,475kg of aid during Operation Fiji Assist.
The Australian Defense Force states during Operation Fiji Assist, Air Force air traffic controllers liaised with Fiji air traffic control to ensure the ADF aircrew were provided up-to-date information on Fijian airspace procedures.
“We also provided traffic de-confliction between the multiple ADF helicopter operations delivering supplies and sequencing returning helicopters to Adelaide.”
“The main highlight was seeing the effect that Adelaide had on the local community by being there in their time of need after the devastating effects of Tropical Cyclone Yasa.”
