December 5th 2023
Fiji Airways has advised passengers booked to travel on its ATR turboprop flights to Funafuti International Airport in Tuvalu, Port Vila in Vanuatu, and Vava’u International Airport and Fua’amotu International Airport Tonga that their journeys may be subject to payload restrictions as a result of prevailing weather conditions in the region.

Whilst unfortunate and undesirable, this decision is made in the interest of the safety of our customers.” Fiji Airways said the payload limitations are expected to remain in place until next month. Passengers who wished to change their flights to dates after January 30, 2024 can do so free of charge.
