Fiji next for V Australia
SYDNEY – The timing may not be the best – diplomatic relations between Australia and Fiji are currently below freezing – but V Australia will prime the tourist market by launching direct daily flights between Australia and Fiji in time for Christmas.
The move follows the decision handed down by the International Air Services Commission to formally grant V Australia its requested capacity.
The new, three-class V Australia flights will begin on December 18.
V Australia will use one of its existing 777-300ER aircraft to operate the Sydney to Nadi flights in lieu of the aircraft sitting idle on the tarmac at Sydney Airport in between trans-Pacific flights.
The 10-hour round trip has the dual purpose of allowing V Australia to achieve maximum aircraft utilisation while giving Pacific Blue the opportunity to re-direct its aircraft to other new and existing routes.
V Australia is offering special launch fares, including:
International Economy from $199 one-way booked on the Internet (inclusive of taxes)
International Premium Economy from $469 one-way on the Internet (inclusive of taxes)
International Business from $649 one-way on the Internet (inclusive of taxes)
The sale finishes midnight November 30 for specific travel periods.
