Brand new Boeing boosts seats between NZ and Fiji

Air New Zealand is saying hello to a brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner this summer.

The airline is set to unleash the new aircraft on the Auckland to Nadi route in November, adding an extra 8000 seats to the route compared to last year.

When Air NZ’s new Boeing touches down at Nadi International Airport on November 27 this year, it will be the first time this aircraft has operated to the Pacific Islands.

The airline’s chief sales and commercial officer Cam Wallace said Fiji continues to be top of the travel list for Kiwis.

“Fiji continues to be a hugely popular destination for Kiwis with the number of Kiwis travelling there growing steadily over the past three years,” he said.

“We’re thrilled to be able to meet growing demand for Fiji as a destination with more seats and the exceptional Dreamliner experience.”

The Boeing 787-9 will initially operate two new services per week, jumping up to five during the peak mid-December to late January period.

In addition to this, there will also be an extra weekly A320 service added to the summer schedule to meet passenger demand.

The Boeing 787-9 services will kick start services on Saturdays and Sundays, extending to Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the peak. The extra A320 service will operate on Sundays.
