Fiji Airways hoping to fly to Beijing and Northern Europe - Sayed-Khaiyum

Minister for Civil Aviation Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum has told parliament that Fiji Airways would love to fly to Beijing when negotiations with Air China are sorted out.

Sayed-Khaiyum says this is because Air China has very good connectivity.

He says they would also love to fly to Northern Europe.

Sayed-Khaiyum adds that in June, Fiji Airways will be flying to South Australia for the first time.

Opposition MP Viliame Gavoka then said that the success of Fiji Airways is also attributed to the vision of the Alliance, SVT and SDL governments.

But Sayed-Khaiyum says the success of Fiji today is attributed to the Fiji First government.
