Former Fiji Airways cabin crew held a talanoa session yesterday with company managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen yesterday to address their concerns moving forward.
This after the national airline announced the return of the 200-cabin crew who were let go at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I wanted to talk directly to these returnees so that we can talk openly, put the past behind us and work as one to elevate Fiji Airways even further as an international airline that stands among the best in the world,” Mr Viljoen said.
The talanoa session was also attended by the executive leadership team who were able to answer questions and make clarifications on issues raised by the returning cabin crew.
“These employees hold a wealth of knowledge and experience which is invaluable to us.”
Mr Viljoen said he was confident that after their talanoa session, “we are all united in a common purpose and strategic vision to do the best for the company and the people of Fiji”.
“As the leading airline in the region, Fiji Airways is committed to providing exceptional service, fostering a sense of warmth and hospitality that reflects the true essence of Fiji.
“Cabin Crew play a pivotal role in embodying these values and showcasing the renowned Fijian spirit to guests from around the world.”
The returnees have been undergoing various stages of training and assessment since May early this year in preparation for their first flights in the coming weeks.
