Fiji Airways has been certified with the highest level 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating, becoming one of just six airlines worldwide to currently achieve this top recognition.

The SKYTRAX COVID-19 Airline Safety Accreditation is regarded as a global benchmark for evaluating COVID-19 safe travel.

Airline managing director Andre Viljoen said the rating puts Fiji Airways in the same category as Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways.

“Credit for this first ever 5-Star Rating goes to our entire Fiji Airways team who diligently maintain these COVID safety standards and protocols flight after flight,” he said in a statement.

“We continuously enhance our Travel Ready program as the science evolves, so customers can fly assured that we have their safety and wellbeing as our highest priority. We look forward to resuming scheduled commercial flights as soon as border restrictions ease.”
