The new Fiji Airways A350 Airbus “Island of Viti Levu” has touched down at Nadi International Airport for the first time.  

Fiji is the first country in the South Pacific region to buy the A350 XWB.

About 800 guests welcomed the new A350 Airbus at the Fiji Airways Hangar.

A tradition welcome ceremony is also being held.

The aircraft is the smaller A350-900 variant and is the first of two A350-900s that will join Fiji Airways’ fleet.

The wide-body aircraft is configured in a two-class layout with 334 seats including 33 Collins Aerospace Super Diamond, fully lie-flat business class seats with direct aisle access.

According to Airbus, the aircraft also has 301 Recaro CL3710 economy class seats, 39 of which are designated as “Bula Space” seats with extra legroom.

The aircraft is also fitted with Thales in-flight, high-definition entertainment systems.

Fiji’s flag carrier will operate the A350 XWB on its Nadi-Los Angeles and Nadi-Sydney route.

The A350 XWB offers efficiency for all market segments up to ultra-long-haul (15,000km).

All Fijians are encouraged to tune into CFL radio stations Legend FM, FM96, VitiFM, Navtarang and Radio Sargam to participate in the celebrations to welcome their aircraft home as prizes on offer include return flights on the brand new A350 to either Sydney or Los Angeles.
