Tourism to and from Fiji is about to get a major boost.
Fiji Airways today announced a major expansion of its Australian network with the launch of new direct flights between Nadi, Fiji, and the new 24-hour Western Sydney International Airport (WSI).
Fares are now on sale now ahead of the inaugural service on Friday, March 19 next year.
The announcement comes as Fiji has never been more popular with Australian travellers, the airline said in a media release.
Fiji has just broken the one million visitor mark for a 12-month period for the first time in its history, with the destination also posting its highest-ever monthly arrivals in July.
Scheduled to operate three times per week on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays using modern Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, the new service will give Fijians an additional direct connection between the two nations, driving more tourism to Fiji.
Fiji Airways is the first international carrier to announce services between Fiji and Western Sydney International, adding more than 53,000 seats annually between the two destinations.
The new Nadi-Western Sydney route is a natural next step for Fiji Airways, said Fiji Airways managing director and CEO Paul Scurrah,
“It is one of the fastest-growing regions in New South Wales, and a direct route there means easier, more affordable access for Australians looking to holiday in Fiji - which means more visitors, more jobs and more opportunities for our tourism industry," Scurrah said.
"It's also home to one of the largest Fijian communities outside Fiji, so this route is about more than just tourism - it's about making it easier for our people to stay connected to family and friends, and for Fiji to keep growing as a destination the world wants to visit.”
The new route will complement Fiji Airways existing double-daily services between Nadi and Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport.
Western Sydney Airport CEO Simon Hickey says: “We’re excited to have Fiji Airways join Western Sydney International as the countdown continues to welcome our inaugural passengers in less than 60 days’ time.
"Western Sydney is one of the most diverse and rapidly growing regions in the nation, which includes more than 70% of our global city’s Fijian population. We’re delighted to be delivering a new, seamless service for them to connect with family and friends, while also giving tourists more choice and flexibility to visit Fiji and explore everything the warm, welcoming leisure destination has to offer.”
