Fiji Airways to become the 15th full member airline of Oneworld
Edited by Travel Weekly


    Fiji’s national carrier, Fiji Airways, has taken a significant step forward in international airline ranks becoming the 15th full member of Oneworld.

    It comes on the back of a record 2023 for the airline. The announcement was made at the International Air Transport Association (IATA) AGM and World Air Transport Summit in Dubai.

    Fiji Airways has been a connect partner of Oneworld for more than five years and developed cooperative links with all Oneworld member airlines.

    It helped paved the way for a more seamless integration as a full Oneworld member, which will commence immediately and be completed within the next 12 months.

    “It’s a very warm bula, or hello, to Fiji Airways as we welcome them as our 15th full member airline in the oneworld alliance,” Oneworld CEO, Nat Pieper, said.

    “Fiji Airways is already part of the oneworld family, as we have had a highly successful relationship since the airline joined as a oneworld connect partner five years ago. With its tremendous growth, award winning product and services, and acceleration of connections with all oneworld member airlines, Fiji Airways will strengthen our position as the premier airline alliance for international global travellers.”

    Andre Viljoen, Managing Director and CEO of Fiji Airways, added: “I am extremely proud to announce our full membership in the award-winning oneworld alliance, marking a significant step in our commitment to providing unparalleled service and connectivity.

    “As a full member airline, we are excited to enhance the travel experience for oneworld alliance frequent flyers, offering greater accessibility to Fiji and the South Pacific, and ensuring seamless connections and memorable journeys for Fiji Airways customers across the alliance network.”

    Fiji Airways, with its hub at Nadi International Airport, serves 26 destinations in 15 countries and territories globally, including Oneworld hubs at Sydney, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.

    Fiji Link, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiji Airways, will become an affiliate airline of oneworld and extend the alliance’s network even further by bringing its domestic flights to Suva, Nadi, Labasa, Taveuni and Kadavu; as well as regionally to the Pacific Island nations of Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
