Where are Fiji Airways flying to now?!

Fiji Airways have just announced the launch of a brand new route between Nadi and Narita, Tokyo, which will be taking to the skies as early as July 2018.

Passengers keen on a little Tokyo exploration, followed by a relaxing stop in Fiji, will be thrilled to hear the new flights will run three times every week, subject to regulatory approvals of course.

The new, nine-hour flights will operate from Nadi International Airport to Narita International Airport. Each week, flights will be scheduled for Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, offering over 80,000 seats per year between Fiji and Japan aboard Fiji Airways’ state-of-the-art planes, the Airbus A330-200/-300.

And to celebrate, Fiji’s national carrier is offering a sweet launch deal, with airfares starting from AU$633 (taxes and surcharges included) from 6-12 December 2017.

Fiji Airways Managing Director and CEO Andre Viljoen said the three times-weekly flights make Fiji and the South Pacific more accessible to Japanese tourists than ever before.

“We are excited to share with Japan the untouched beauty of our 333 islands. Fiji’s unparalleled hospitality and warmth offers Japanese tourists a unique, culturally immersive experience – much more than just another beach getaway,” Viljoen added.

“Our flights have been designed to ensure guests get the most of their time in Fiji. The flight from Narita arrives into Nadi in the morning, with convenient domestic connections on our subsidiary Fiji Link to major tourism spots like Savusavu and Taveuni.

“Additionally, guests can also easily do boat transfers after arrival to the many wonderful resorts in the beautiful Mamanuca and Yasawa island groups.”

 Fijian Attorney-General and Minister responsible for Civil Aviation, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, added this launch is “an invaluable step” in achieving their goals of becoming a go-to hub for business, and to further solidify Fiji’s global tourism appeal.

“This opens a direct gateway between Fiji and the most populated metropolitan area in the world, and we expect the impact to go far beyond attracting more tourism to our shores,” said Sayed-Khaiyum.

Fiji Airways customers will be able to book flights and baggage via Fiji Airways’ sales channels, including its general sales agent offices, website, online travel sites, and reservation centres.
