There is a need for Tourism Fiji and Fiji Airways to work collaboratively to understand the Indian travellers who are now one of the highest spenders in the world.

Attorney General and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum made this comment adding that India will be the largest outbound market in a few years time.

Sayed-Khaiyum has just returned from India after having a series of meetings with officials from various sectors.

He says that a lot of people have a lot of misconception and are prejudice about Indian travellers.

Meanwhile, Jet Airways India’s full service premier international airline and Fiji Airways have recently announced a codeshare partnership which offers guests travelling on both carriers convenient and seamless connectivity between India and Fiji via Singapore and Hong Kong.

The codeshare agreement, a first of its kind between the airlines of the two countries, will address the growing demand for travel between India and Fiji.

Jet Airways will place its ‘9W’ code on Fiji Airways flights from Singapore and Hong Kong to Nadi and Fiji Airways will place its ‘FJ’ code on Jet Airways’ services between Singapore and Mumbai Delhi and Chennai as well as between Hong Kong and Mumbai and Delhi.
