Since 2016, Fiji’s flag carrier Fiji Airways has carried more than 318,000 passengers between Fiji and Singapore and operated over 1700 commercial flights across 886 trips on the route.
The airline revealed this yesterday as it celebrates 10 years of connecting Fiji to Singapore.
“The Singapore route has played a key role in expanding Fiji Airways’ presence in Asia while providing travellers with seamless connectivity to Europe, Southeast Asia and beyond through Singapore,” it said in a statement.
“Over the past decade, the route has supported tourism growth, strengthened economic ties, and provided passengers with greater travel choice through the world-class facilities and connectivity offered at Singapore’s Changi Airport.
“Around one third of passengers travelling on the route connect beyond Singapore to other destinations, highlighting the importance of the hub for travellers connecting between Fiji, Asia, Europe and other global markets.”
Fiji Airways managing director and chief executive officer Paul Scurrah said the anniversary reflects the airline’s commitment to strengthening Fiji’s global connectivity.
“Over the past decade, our Singapore service has become a vital bridge between Fiji and Asia and beyond. “It has opened doors for tourism, trade and global travel while connecting Fiji to one of the world’s most important aviation hubs.
“We are proud of how this route has grown and the role it continues to play in supporting Fiji’s economy and global reach.”
Singapore Changi Airport, a world-renowned aviation hub, has consistently been recognised as one of the world’s best airports and serves as a major gateway for travellers connecting between Asia, Europe, and the Pacific.
Executive vice president of Air Hub & Cargo Development Changi Airport Group Lim Ching Kiat said: “We are delighted to celebrate with Fiji Airways the 10th anniversary of its Singapore–Nadi route, which has brought the South Pacific closer to Asia.
“This flight service has provided Fiji Airways’ passengers with convenient access to Changi Airport’s global network.
“We look forward to deepening our partnership with Fiji Airways to further grow the route and better serve passengers travelling between Singapore and Nadi, as well as those connecting onwards via Singapore to destinations across Asia, Europe and beyond.”
Fiji Airways currently operates twice weekly between Nadi and Singapore, providing travellers with convenient access to Asia and onward global connections through Singapore Changi Airport.
