International flights return to Canberra airport

Canberra Airport has resumed international services with the launch of a Fiji Airways route to Nadi. The airport’s first international flight since the pandemic, Fiji Airways flight FJ950, left Canberra on board the 737 MAX 8 DQ-FAF at 2:39pm on Friday. Two return services per week will operate between Canberra and Nadi on Tuesdays and Fridays, with Sunday flights to be added from October. “The strong forward bookings for this new route are a clear indicator of the demand for international travel both to, and from Canberra,” said Canberra Airport’s Managing Director, Stephen Byron. “This partnership between Fiji Airways, ACT Government and Canberra Airport signifies the return of direct international services to our city and puts Canberra back on the map. We are excited to relaunch our international operations and thank Fiji Airways for their strong show of support for the nation’s capital.” Fiji Airways’ Managing Director and CEO, Andre Viljoen, said the airline is “thrilled with the strong uptake” of the new route.<br/>
