Fiji Airways

Fiji Airways, formerly Air Pacific, is the flag carrier of Fiji. It operates international services from its hubs in Fiji to 27 destinations, and has an extended network of 108 international destinations through its codeshare partners, including Qantas, who also own a stake in the airline. The airline has been a full member of the Oneworld alliance since 2026. The first commercial flight as Fiji Airways was made in 1951, but the airline's origins date back to the formation of Katafaga Estates Ltd. in 1947. After being acquired by Qantas in 1958, Katafaga Estates was retooled as a regional airline and renamed Air Pacific. In May 2012, MD/CEO David Pflieger announced that as the final part of the airline's successful turnaround, the airline would be returning to its former name of Fiji Airways to reinforce its role as the national airline of Fiji. The Fiji government owns 50% of the airline, the Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) owns 30% and Qantas 16%, diluted from its previous 46% stake after FNPF purchased their stake in Fiji Airways to raise capital during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the governments of several Pacific island nations holding the remainder. The airline currently operates a fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft for short-haul flights, Airbus A330 family aircraft for medium-haul flights, and Airbus A350-900 aircraft for long-haul flights. Through its Fiji Link brand, the airline operates a fleet of DHC-6 Twin Otter and ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft for domestic flights within Fiji.
