A total of 245 former Fiji Airways cabin crew had taken the matter before the Employment Relations Tribunal as they had said that they were unfairly dismissed in 2020 and had filed for redress.

The former flight attendants are represented by lawyer, Jon Apted.

Fiji Airways is represented by lawyer, Devanesh Sharma.
