Fiji Airways has this week announced a new partnership with Canadian carrier Porter Airlines.
This comes as no surprise, given the new links out of the West Coast United States that the Canadian carrier has been facilitating.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…
The Deal Between Fiji Airways & Porter Airlines…
An interlining agreement between Fiji Airways & Porter Airlines has been signed.
It enables the Fijian carrier’s passengers to connect onwards from Vancouver, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
With hubs in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax, this will enable a strong level of connectivity after the three destinations mentioned above.
It is also understood that passengers won’t have to book separate flights.
Furthermore, they won’t need to carry their luggage from one check-in counter to another.
Both Sides Are Excited For This…
Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer said the following on this:
“Our bookings to and from North America have been strong, collectively making up the second largest group of visitors to Fiji in 2023.”
“Many of these guests are flying in from other cities to catch our flights out of the three ports that Fiji Airways serves.”
“We are excited to launch this interline partnership with Porter Airlines which creates easier access, and more travel options for customers travelling to and from the important and growing list of markets Porter serves”.
“This partnership means that families in various parts of the two countries can realistically consider a holiday in Fiji.”
“Fiji is an ideal holiday destination for anyone looking for sun, sand, sea with a vast variety of local experiences and culinary delights.”
“Paradise is closer than you thought possible.”
“Guests also won’t have to book separate flights and carry their luggage from one check-in counter to another because our agreement with Porter Airlines take care of all that in one ticket”.
Adding to this was Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Porter Airlines, Edmond Eldebs:
“This new partnership offers passengers seamless connections between Fiji Airways and Porter at key locations along the West Coast of North America.”
“It improves access for Canadians to destinations across the Pacific, and for passengers originating on Fiji flights to reach points across Eastern Canada.”
Overall…
In conclusion, all eyes will be on how this interlining agreement between Fiji Airways & Porter airlines will perform.
If it is successful, then this could create scope to expand this further going into the future.
For the Canadian carrier, this is yet another successful milestone following their international expansion.
But for now, all eyes will be on how this new relationship develops.
