The two 68-seater aircraft will be used on the airline’s regional routes, servicing the Northern and Western divisions of Fiji. Over time, further aircraft will be added to improve and develop domestic routes, such as Nadi-Suva and Labasa.
“These two new ATR aircraft are a significant investment in Fiji’s domestic connectivity,” said Fiji Airways CEO and Managing Director Andre Viljoen. “They are an important part of our commitment to providing comfortable and efficient travel options for our passengers and offering greater connectivity between our islands. This fleet expansion will also help us continue to meet the growing demand for domestic travel, ensuring that we can provide increased capacity where it’s needed most.”
Fiji Link services 12 domestic destinations, including Suva, Nadi, Labasa, Taveuni and Kadavu, as well as the Pacific Island nations of Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, with a fleet of ATR 72-600, ATR 42-600, and Twin Otter aircraft.
