Fiji Airways expands route network

Fiji Airways today expanded its route network with the launch of its new direct service between Wellington and Nadi.

Fiji Airways is now the only airline flying directly between Wellington and Fiji all year‑round.

Fiji Airways Chairman, Nalin Patel says this is one of the most significant new routes recently announced by Fiji Airways, and reflects the airline's strong performance in New Zealand.

Patel says New Zealand is an incredibly important market for Fiji Airways, and the introduction of this new route is a testament to Fiji Airways strong performance. 

Wellington Airport Chief Executive, Steve Sanderson says it's an exciting time for the city as the airport looks to extend its offering with the new Fiji Airways service creating an extra 34,000 seats to Wellington's market.
