The carrier announced on Wednesday (29 March) it will restart bi-weekly flights from Hong Kong to Nadi from 1 April, while flights from Tokyo Narita airport will resume on 4 April. 

The Hong-Kong connection will be available to UK tourists via British Airways and Cathay Pacific, while the Tokyo connection will be operated by the UK legacy carrier as well as Japan Airlines. 

Tourism Fiji chief executive Brent Hill said the new connections will make it easier for UK tourists to “enjoy the warm ‘Bula’ welcome and unique slice of paradise that we offer here in Fiji”.

“January saw the highest number of visitor numbers from the UK to Fiji since before the pandemic and February saw the lifting of all Covid restrictions for arrivals to Fiji,” he added. 

The two new connections are in addition to a three-times-weekly service via Singapore, as well as a recently launched route via Vancouver.
