Fiji Airways has been rated a five-star major airline for 2023 in the APEX Official Airline Ratings. Managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen was in California, USA to receive the award on behalf of the airline.
“We at Fiji Airways have worked very hard to elevate the airline to a level where it has been recognised as an APEX Five Star Major Airline. This is no easy feat for a carrier our size, based out of a remote location in the South Pacific,” he said.
“This rating by APEX is a win for the whole of Fiji. While battling the challenges brought on by the pandemic, the national carrier showed resilience and managed to become a five-star rated airline. We are now counted among the best major airlines in the world, thanks to the grit and tenacity of our team.”
Fiji Airways success in resuming services in a COVID-safe manner, the quick ramp up and a record number of visitor arrivals likely contributed to the rating.
Where many airlines of a similar size are struggling, the national carrier has managed to stay afloat, successfully navigate the pandemic, and is now soaring to new heights in terms of bookings and revenue earnings.
