Fiji Airways new Airbus A350 XWBFiji Airways, Fiji’s National Airline, has announced plans to resume twice-weekly direct services to Adelaide from Nadi commencing on Monday, July 4 2022 after a hiatus of three years.

This marks the fourth Australian leg for the airline after Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Currently, Fiji Airways operates two flights daily out of Sydney and daily flights out of Melbourne and Brisbane.

Diversifying the Australian market has been a goal of Fiji Airways since Fiji borders opened on 1 December 2021, as so many Australians continue to choose to fly to Fiji.

“We’re delighted to re-launch our fourth Australian route, which will allow us once again to bring our unique Fijian hospitality to South Australia, as well as offer local residents the opportunity to use Fiji as a gateway to other international destinations,” said Andre Viljoen, Managing Director and CEO of Fiji Airways. “The increase in our aircraft fleet allows us to cater to the demand out of Adelaide”.

The vast majority of tourists to Fiji arrive from Australian airports so the resumption of this service will be good news for travellers and the sizable Fijian community living in South Australia.

“We know there is significant pent-up demand for South Australians wanting to head overseas again, and Fiji Airways has recognised the strength of our market,” said Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Brenton Cox. “Fiji has always been a hugely popular destination with South Australian travellers and it’s great to see the reintroduction of routes as the COVID recovery continues.”

Flights are now available to book with return economy airfares starting from AUD649 per person and return business class airfares from AUD2,299 per person.

Tickets can be purchased through the Fiji Airways website, www.fijiairways.com, or by calling the Fiji Airways Global Reservations Centre.
