Company Profile
Coral Air operates from Nadi International Airport as well as out of the Denerau Marina. Established in 1998, Coral Air specializes in exclusive daytrips, scenic flights and general charter.
Their seaplane is an American built Lake Buccaneer LA4-200 amphibian. This is an enthusiasts’ seaplane made famous on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Water landings are exciting because it’s actually a “flying boat” and not a floatplane – you land “in” the water rather than “on” it. This seaplane takes off from land as well as from water and this makes their aircraft truly “amphibious.”
All Coral Air pilots are familiar with life in Fiji and they will happily tell you about this magic part of the South Pacific. Let them take you on an adventure, they will give you an aerial view of native villages and a smooth ride over reefs and islands. On the water, the airplane will drift contentedly in the lagoon waiting for you, while you swim, snorkel or explore.
The beautiful blue starfish in our logo is found everywhere on the reefs of Fiji. It’s color is truly stunning in reality.
Marc Keller runs the show at Coral Air. Marc is Swiss, actually, he’s from the Principality of Liechtenstein, so please do not hesitate to “sprechen der Deutsch” with him, or English, or French, or Italian. ‘Sinatra’ is the Company mascot and a pure bred “Samoyed Slow” (he doesn’t fly).
