Fiji Airways is planning to expand its Australian network with a proposed new service between Nadi and the new Western Sydney International Airport, with flights tentatively scheduled to begin in June 2027.
According to aviation schedule tracking website AeroRoutes, the national airline has loaded the new route into its reservation system for the week beginning June 7, 2027. The service is expected to be operated by a 157-seat Boeing 737 MAX 8, although the launch date remains subject to change.
The provisional schedule shows flight FJ991 departing Nadi at 7:55pm and arriving at Western Sydney International at 10:55pm. The return service, FJ990, is scheduled to leave Sydney at 11:55pm and arrive in Nadi at 5:55am the following day.
If confirmed, Fiji Airways would become one of the first international airlines to operate from Western Sydney International Airport, Sydney’s long-awaited second airport, which is due to open before the proposed launch.
Unlike Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport, Western Sydney International will operate 24 hours a day without a night-time curfew, allowing airlines greater flexibility in scheduling late-night arrivals and departures.
The proposed Fiji Airways timetable takes advantage of those extended operating hours, with both flights scheduled outside the curfew restrictions that apply at Kingsford Smith.
The new service is expected to strengthen Fiji’s connectivity with Australia, one of the country’s largest tourism markets.
Western Sydney is one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions and is home to a large population with strong demand for international leisure travel.
A direct service to the new airport would provide travellers with easier access to Fiji while reducing the need to travel across Sydney to Kingsford Smith Airport.
Fiji Airways already operates services between Nadi and several Australian cities, including Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra.
The addition of Western Sydney would further expand the airline’s Australian footprint while positioning it to capture growing demand from the rapidly developing western suburbs.
