Fiji’s National Airline Fiji Airways, and the national carrier of the Solomon Islands Solomon Airlines, have signed a codeshare agreement for flights between Nadi and Honiara.

The codeshare, which comes into effect at the end of this month will see both airlines place their respective ‘FJ’ and ‘IE’ codes on each other’s flights between Nadi and Honiara.

Guests of Solomon Airlines can expect convenient travel and transfer onto Fiji Airways’ network through its Nadi hub to North America, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.

Fiji Airways Managing Director and CEO  Andre Viljoen, says that  they’re very pleased to sign this codeshare agreement with their Melanesian friends and further strengthen our already comprehensive South Pacific network.

CEO of Solomon Airlines Brett Gebers, said the the new codeshare was great news for both airlines, extremely timely and has  presented a major boost for the Melanesian region’s tourism and business aspirations.

Gebers adds that improving inter island connectivity is the first step to improving the economy in the Pacific and they value their relationship with Fiji Airways.

Meanwhile, Fiji Airways operates between Nadi and Honiara on Saturday while Solomon Airlines operates between Honiara and Nadi on Mondays and Tuesdays.
