FIJI Airways is set to significantly expand its international network in 2027, adding more than 125,000 seats across key markets in response to strong demand for travel to Fiji.
The expansion, which will be delivered within the airline’s existing fleet, will provide travellers with greater choice and flexibility while strengthening Nadi’s role as a regional aviation hub. The additional capacity reflects Fiji Airways continued focus on responding to market demand while strengthening connectivity between Fiji and its key international markets.
The 2027 schedule includes the launch of new services to Western Sydney, alongside increased frequencies to Hong Kong, Christchurch, Singapore, and Tokyo.
