We were able to negotiate a lucrative deal to acquire it,” Fiji Airways CEO, Andre Viljoen, said. “As the national airline we recognise our role is not only to be the bridge to and from the world, but to support the growth of tourism. One of the ways we can do this is by introducing destinations with potential for high tourism opportunities.” The A350-900, configured with 33 business and 301 economy seats, is scheduled to enter commercial service to Hong Kong on August 17.
