CNW/ -- Fiji Airways, Fiji's national carrier, has announced it will fly direct from Nadi to Vancouver in Canada from November 2022.

Vancouver Vancouver was the ideal choice for us." My Island comes with a mattress topper, Business Class pillow, additional blanket and seat belt extension. Fiji Airways now provides them with a more convenient means to do just that." Canada represents a new market with immense potential for tourism, trade and of course re-connecting Fijian families." The destination will be the 20th direct international service provided by Fiji Airways' world class fleet.

Viljoen says they had requested the Fijian Government for support for financing requirements to 1st April 2021 and very slow restart thereafter. He says this without doubt contributed to the ongoing demand we see today. Sayed-Khaiyum says the airline is run very well, and in the future the aim is to find more strategic partners. We have sent questions to FNPF and Fiji Airways on the purchase of the shares. He also says Government has also given the largest guarantee any Fijian Government has given as it was critical to support our national airline. The Minister says you have to ensure that you have a national carrier that brings the bulk of tourists to Fiji.

Sayed-Khaiyum says the airline is run very well, and in the future the aim is to find more strategic partners. He says this without doubt contributed to the ongoing demand we see today. Viljoen says they had requested the Fijian Government for support for financing requirements to 1st April 2021 and very slow restart thereafter. Professor Prasad says the people of Fiji particularly the workers as owners of the Fund have a right to know what is the amount of Fiji Airways’ debt portfolio with FNPF. Professor Prasad says the first question that needs clarity is the role of the Attorney-General and Minister for Economy in this deal as he quickly jumped to comment and say this should have happened much earlier. He also questions why is the FNPF’s acquisition of the shares in Fiji Airways clouded in financial secrecy and lacking complete transparency and accountability to the workers of Fiji who own the Fund.

Fiji Airways to start flying between Nadi and Vancouver twice a week from the end of November using Airbus A330-200 equipment.

If a week or two in Fiji appeals, there is also some pretty good introductory pricing on the YVR - NAN route available for sale right now. Instead of the A350-900s with their tip-top cabins, the airline will send their older and less-up-to-date Airbus A330-200s to Vancouver. It's still a nice plane but doesn't have Fiji Airway's latest seats or latest look. "This is a very exciting development as we continue to explore ways to maximize returns not just for Fiji Airways but for the tourism industry and the Fijian economy. On an anticipated economy class-focused tourist-heavy route like NAN - YVR, the A330-200 may be a better match. Two months later, that recovery has continued unabated, and Fiji Airways is in a position to chase new markets. Chilled Canadians chasing some warmth and sunshine will soon have a new escape route with Fiji Airways beginning flights between Vancouver and Nadi in late November - just ahead of Canada's winter.
