Fiji Airways’ DoT application said the route will open more options to travel to Fiji from a major market in a geographic region with convenient connections to middle and eastern U.S. At present, Fiji Airways flies nonstop from Nadi to Honolulu, Los Angeles and San Francisco in the U.S. and to Canada’s Vancouver. Dallas-Fort Worth is the home hub of American Airlines, a member of the oneworld alliance. Last month, Fiji Airways announced it had applied to be a full member of the alliance and would adopt the American Airlines Advantage frequent flyer program.
