Jet Airways India’s full‑service premier international airline and Fiji Airways have 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.

Fiji Airways says that all codeshare flights will allow through check‑in to the final destination of any journey.

JetPrivilege members will also be able to accrue and redeem JPMiles on the codeshare flights operated by Fiji Airways flights, and the accrued miles will count towards their tier status as well.

Codeshare bookings are now open for sale for travel effective March 9th, 2017.

Gaurang Shetty Whole‑time Director Jet Airways says the codeshare agreement with Fiji Airways reflects their continuing commitment to the travelling public to offer the best possible connections to more destinations around the world which now extends to the beautiful paradise of Fiji.

Shetty says ties between the people of India and Fiji can be traced back over a 100 years and with the governments of both countries making focused efforts to further strengthen trade, tourism and cultural ties, they believe this codeshare partnership will play a pivotal role in these endeavours by enabling seamless connectivity between both countries.

Fiji Airways’ Managing Director and CEO  Andre Viljoen says this is a very significant achievement for both airlines.

He says that demand for travel from Fiji to India for tourism, medical treatment, education and family reasons keeps growing and the codeshare agreement will boost this even further.

Speaking on behalf of the Fijian Government, the majority shareholder of Fiji Airways, the Attorney‑General, Minister for Economy and Minister in charge of Civil Aviation, Aiyaz Sayed‑Khaiyum described the new code‑share agreement as a major boost to relations between the two countries.
