Fiji Airways guests travelling to and from Auckland may experience disruptions and delays to their flight

Fiji Airways guests travelling to and from Auckland may experience disruptions and delays to their flight due to restrictions on jet fuel supply at Auckland Airport.

Fiji Airways has confirmed that an enforced shortage on fuel supply to airlines operating out of Auckland means Fiji Airways may have to divert aircraft to other airports to pick up fuel, combine or even cancel flights.

Fiji Airways Executive General Manager Corporate Affairs Shaenaz Voss says that this is a challenging issue not just for Fiji Airways but all other airlines operating to and from Auckland.

She says that the restricted supply means Fiji Airways only receive a percentage of the fuel they usually carry.

Voss adds that while they will work hard to minimize inconvenience to customers, in some cases Fiji Airways may have no choice but to combine or cancel services, or divert flights to other airports to refuel causing longer flight times.

Fiji Airways will endeavour to contact affected passengers and advise them of their flight changes where possible.

Voss says that guests travelling to and from Auckland over the next two weeks are also requested to check if their flight departure or arrival times are affected.
