Fiji Airways opens new 'world class' lounge for passengers at Nadi International Airport

Fiji Airways has opened a glitzy 'world class' business passenger lounge at Nadi International Airport, as it enjoys record profits. Andre Vilijoen, MD and CE of Fiji Airways, says the 887 sqm lounge was one of a kind. "We've had a tremendous year of successes and the missing piece was a world class lounge. We had a temporary lounge we were using up until today," he said. From concept to opening, the lounge which can accommodate up to 200 people, took 12 months to complete. Vilijoen said he believed the lounge matched others worldwide. In the last financial year Fiji Airways posted an annual record profit of more than F$84.5m before tax, up from F$70.2m the previous year. <br/>
