Fiji Airways’ annual report would be tabled in Parliament soon. This was revealed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Professor Biman Prasad during the SOAR: Fiji Airways Special Edition book launch at the national airline’s aviation academy in Nadi last Wednesday.
“The word itself to soar, insists upon us all that even while Fiji Airways as a carrier does soar and has soared higher in spite of the pandemic that literally shut the globe down, ” he said.
“And on that note, I proudly intend to table in Parliament soon, its annual report that details in numbers, just how well Andre (Viljoen) and his team kept the airline soaring, even when many around the world were not as bold.” Prof Prasad said the national airline continued to prove its strategic significance to our economy.
“We have all witnessed the many achievements of the company and as the line minister for Fiji Airways, I assure the board and management of the company that the People’s Coalition Government stands with you, in full support of your initiatives going forward.”
He added that SOAR: Fiji Airways Special Edition encapsulated Fiji Airways’ extraordinary journey and its systematic transformation, which was now paying dividends in the recognition that we are classified as one of the leading commercial carriers in the world.
“It speaks also on the ethos of Fiji and our people. Small in size we may be, but relentlessly large in our hearts, through selfless hospitality and care.
“The book is also a proof that our national airline stands shoulder to shoulder with global aviation giants,” said Prof Prasad.
