FIJI Airways managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen says the national airline’s five-year plan introduced last year is being reviewed.
“We had a five-year plan that started in 2014 and we are into the second year of that plan,” he said.
“Obviously sometimes the world or the universe doesn’t always stick to plans, so we will obviously refresh our plans and we are in the process of doing that. The objective for us when we are refreshing our plans is to continue our journey to provide world-class service, sustaining our profit growth and support the Fiji tourism industry.”
He said the review was carried out in light of new plans that would be revealed over the coming years — which include the introduction of a new aircraft.
“We will have another new Airbus A330-300, which has 40 more seats, which is coming in December and will begin serving our routes in January,” said Mr Viljoen.
“We are bringing in double digits in our passenger capacities projected for next year.
“We’ve ensured that we have state-of-the-art interiors, which include an economy quiet zone which is an area that will have no children and allow our premium passengers to be in a silent area.”
