Airline has started using bigger planes; will temporarily increase frequency to three times per week
Fiji Airways plans to increase frequency on its non-stop route between Vancouver International Airport and Nadi International Airport to three times per week in December and January, up from twice per week, its regional general manager for the Americas, Stroebel Bekker, told BIV this morning. The airline's flights out of Vancouver now leave on Mondays and Fridays. The added flights will be on Wednesdays, Stroebel said.
Stroebel would not provide an exact percentage for how full the flights have been on the Vancouver route, but he said that the airline recently increased capacity by more than 20 per cent by using larger planes. Many of the passengers from Vancouver connect in Fiji to flights to New Zealand and Australia. One advantage of flying Fiji Airways, Stroebel said, is that passengers can book free stopovers for up to 72 hours in Fiji in each of their flights' directions, before they continue to their final destinations.
