NATIONAL airline Fiji Airways has advised that its flight operations around the region will be severely affected today.

This is due to a significant ash cloud caused by the Mount Aoba Volcanic Eruption in Vanuatu.

“Safety remains paramount for the Group and safety assessments will be made continuously regarding the Ash Cloud situation,” the airline said in a statement.

Currently, all Fiji Link flights are on hold, and guests are advised to expect delays until the volcanic ash cloud movement is assessed and the situation is conducive to safe flight operations.

A number of Fiji Airways flights will likely be affected. These flights include:

  • FJ263    Nadi – Port Vila
  • FJ262    Port Vila – Nadi
  • FJ910    Sydney – Nadi
  • FJ810    Los Angeles – Nadi
  • FJ915    Nadi – Sydney
