Bréngt kleng Inselstaaten méi no zesummen: Fidschi- Salomon Inselen a Fidschi Airways

Fiji Airways, Fiji’s National Airline and Solomon Airlines, the national carrier of the Solomon Islands,  have signed a codeshare agreement for flights between Nadi and Honiara. It means bringing small island states in the Pacific closer together.

The codeshare, which comes into effect on September 30^th 2017 will see both airlines place their respective ‘FJ’ and ‘IE’ codes on each other’s flights between Nadi and Honiara.

Gäscht vun Solomon Airlines kënne bequem Reesen an Transfert op Fiji Airways Netz duerch säin Nadi Hub an Nordamerika, Hong Kong, Singapur, Australien an Neiséiland erwaarden.

Den Här Andre Viljoen, Fiji Airways Managing Director a CEO sot: "Mir si ganz frou dëse Codeshare Accord mat eise Melanesian Frënn z'ënnerschreiwen an eis schonn ëmfaassend Südpazifik Reseau weider ze stäerken."

"D'Regioun ass eist Heem an et mécht perfekt Sënn fir Südpazifik Fluchgesellschaften zesummen ze schaffen fir nahtlos Reesoptioune fir eis Leit a Besucher ze bidden, déi op Fidschi an d'Solomoninselen reesen. Duerch dës Partnerschaft maachen mir eng wichteg Südpazifik Destinatioun op - Honiara - fir de Rescht vun der Welt, a stäerken hiren Tourismus an den Handel Potential. Fiji Airways ass houfreg op seng Haaptroll am Wuesstum vun der Loftrees am Südpazifik.
