For more than seven decades, Fiji Airways has been Fiji’s bridge to the world. We’re currently flying in more than 90% of all visitor arrivals to the country, helping to support tens of thousands of Fijian livelihoods within the company, at the airport, and beyond the runway in tourism, farming, and manufacturing. As a SKYTRAX 4-star rated airline, we offer the best of Fijian hospitality onboard the one of the world’s most modern fleets, which includes new Airbus A350-900 XWBs, Airbus A330s, Boeing 737s, ATR and DHC-6 Viking Twin Otter aircraft. Pre-pandemic our network covered 108 destinations in over 15 countries through direct flights and code share arrangements, including Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Kapan, and China. Through Fiji Link, we connect Fijians to each other. And we connect the Blue Pacific, as the only carrier flying direct routes to Kiribati and Tuvalu. We will re-open to all of our destinations over the coming months. Through the pandemic, we flew in all 1.3 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines delivered to Fiji –– helping place Fijians among the world’s most vaccinated populations. We implemented a world-leading commitment to in-flight safety, earning the SKYTRAX 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating and the Diamond certification by the Airline Passenger Experience Association. Now, our fleet is flying and we’re hiring people to join our team and help us lead Fiji’s COVID-safe economic recovery.
