Fiji Airways will open its Aviation Academy in Namaka in Nadi later this year.

This has been confirmed by the Fiji Airways Managing Director and CEO Andre Viljoen.

Viljoen says this will allow their pilots as well as those from around the world, to experience a world class simulator training programme.

Viljoen also highlighted that Fiji Airways will be also getting a A350 Airline in November this year.

He says this aircraft is considered the most advanced aircraft in the world.

Viljoen says all this would not have been done if it was not for their staff who has brought the airline to where it is today.

Fiji Airways was awarded the coveted Skytrax 4 Star rating at the 2019 Skytrax World Airline Awards in Paris, joining a select group of elite airlines in this prestigious category.

Fiji Airways joins airlines such as Emirates, British Airways, Etihad, Air New Zealand and Qantas as a 4 Star airline.

Fiji Airways says at the same Skytrax World Airline Awards in Paris, Fiji Airways moved from 4th to 1st place to take up “Best Airline Staff in Australia Pacific”, signaling the airline’s continued commitment to world class service and customer experience.
