Great news for travellers based in north Queensland. They will soon be able to fly direct from Cairns to Nadi in Fiji.
Thrice-weekly flights will offer increased connectivity to Fiji, and on to the US.
The inaugural Fiji Airlines flight will take off on April 10 next year with flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
This marks the first time Australians in Northern Queensland will be able to fly directly to Fiji, with the flight taking approximately 4 hours 30 minutes.
Introductory fares start from just $539 Lite return to Nadi. For those looking to head to the US there will be value return fares to Los Angeles and San Francisco via Fiji from $1,099.
Book now via fijiairways.com before Tuesday.
The Cairns to Nadi route will add 53,000 seats a year into the market and expands Fiji Airways global network.
Andre Viljoen, managing director and CEO of Fiji Airways, says the new route marks the sixth direct service from Australia to Fiji, creating new opportunities for travel.
“Our new service to Cairns is a further step in our network expansion, providing more travel options and enhanced connectivity for our customers," he said.
"Northern Australia holds a special allure for many of our travellers, and we're proud to bring them closer to it. This route also offers convenient onward connections from Cairns to Dallas via Nadi, making it easier than ever for travellers to access North America.”
Queensland Tourism Minister Andrew Powell says the new flights will provide a significant boost for Far North Queensland tourism operators.
“More visitors from across the South Pacific and the USA will experience the wonders of Tropical North Queensland when these new flights start touching down direct from Fiji," he said.
