Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Andre Viljoen will be stepping down from his role, effective October 2025.
He has accepted the position of CEO at Air Mauritius and will be returning home after a decade in Fiji.
On behalf of the Board and the entire Fiji Airways Group, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Andre for his outstanding leadership over the past 10 years,” said Mr Nalin Patel, Chairman of Fiji Airways.
“To ensure continuity, Andre will remain on the Board of Directors after his transition.”
“There is no conflict of interest, as Fiji Airways and Air Mauritius serve different markets.”

“All candidates who meet the clearly defined criteria outlined in the upcoming advertisement and job description will be considered.”
