Fiji Airways to increase flights to Hong Kong

Fiji Airways will increase service from Nadi, Fiji's third largest city, to Hong Kong by August and introduce fourth-weekly flights from Oct. 1, as demand on the route has picked up swiftly. The national airline re-started with two direct flights between Nadi and Hong Kong on April 1, with a third service from August. Currently, the flights between Nadi and Hong Kong operate every Monday and Thursday. The third service from August will add Saturday flights with Sunday services from October. Fiji Airways' managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen said on Thursday that the demand is enabling the airline to provide four flights a week from this October. Viljoen said Hong Kong has traditionally been a strong link for Fiji Airways as the main gateway into the Chinese mainland, and they are pleased with how well this market has picked up in a short time. Viljoen said their forward bookings for Hong Kong for the next six months are 15% ahead of the 2019 number. Based on this, they are confident that a fourth service will also do well.<br/>
