Bigger Bula: Fiji Airways to fly to more cities in Australia & up current capacity

Fiji Airways Executive Manager of Global Sales, Marketing and Digital, Akuila Batiweti, said the carrier hopes to unveil the new destinations in June or July, which would bring the total number of its Australian ports to six or seven. This would make Fiji Airways the third largest international airline operating in Australia, by number of destinations. Given the airline is already flying to five destinations down under (including the future Canberra-Nadi route), it’s difficult to predict where FJ would fly to next. Batiweti said Fiji Airways was also already considering adding a third weekly service “at least” to its Canberra-Nadi route months before it launches in late July. With demand for the upcoming service already surging, he said Canberra would be a great destination for the carrier given Territorians’ high average disposable income, that there are no beaches in the capital (and that it can get bitterly cold), and the fact that through Nadi, Fiji Airways will be able to connect residents of the ACT (and beyond) to other parts of the world. <br/>
