Fiji Airways has this week revealed plans to launch new flights between Nadi and Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport.
This represents a significant milestone in the airline’s growth and success in the U.S market.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…
The New Nadi-Dallas Flights with Fiji Airways…
Subject to U.S Government approvals, Fiji Airways will launch new Nadi-Dallas flights in December 2024.
The proposed plan is to operate the flights on the following days:
- Tuesdays
- Thursdays
- Saturdays
It will be a non-stop 13-hour flight utilising the airline’s flagship Airbus A350-900 aircraft that they have in the fleet.
The Nadi-Dallas flights with Fiji Airways will be the fifth North American destination and their 24th international destination.
Celebrating the new flights was Fijian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Strategic Planning, National Development and Statistics, Hon Professor Biman Prasad:
“Fiji Airways’ new direct route to Dallas is an exciting development for Fiji and will help pave the way for expanded opportunities in tourism and trade between our two nations.”
“Dallas has immense potential as a new source market for Fiji’s tourism industry, with DFW International Airport currently ranked the third-busiest airport in the world and the state of Texas home to some of the fastest-growing counties in the United States.”
A Theme of Focus With Fort-Worth: American Airlines…
A focal point for these new Nadi-Dallas flights with Fiji Airways is American Airlines.
This year, they will join the AAdvantage Loyalty Program, as well as becoming the 15th full member of the oneworld alliance.
It is clear in that regard that this new route will open up new opportunities for the Fijian carrier.
Fiji Airways Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Andre Viljoen had this to say on the matter:
“Introducing a direct service between Fiji and Dallas is a really exciting milestone for Fiji Airways, as we continue to increase Fiji’s connectivity with the United States and beyond offering our guests more travel options.”
“The new Fiji-Dallas service is set to bring more than 1,000 passengers a week into Fiji alone, helping to bolster the nation’s tourism industry.”
“The overnight flight will also offer our customers increased connections to North America from the South Pacific and beyond”.
Overall…
In conclusion, it is clear that the new Nadi-Dallas flights represents a big step for Fiji Airways.
Looking ahead, it will be interesting to see how the new route performs.
Strong success is expected on this route due to the partnerships with American Airlines and oneworld.
But for now, all we can do is wait for launch day to see how the first few weeks of that route looks.
