Pacific Blue flights to Fiji not affected by coup
Australian-based airline Pacific Blue says it has not been affected by the tourism downturn in Fiji since last year’s coup.
A Radio New Zealand International report carried by Pacnews says Fiji’s national carrier Air Pacific has been reporting lower profitability, but Pacific Blue’s commercial general manager Adrian Hamilton-Manns said political instability in the Pacific nation had no impact on the airline’s operation.
He said the political volatility hasn’t affected the airline because of its policy of playing neutral.
He said the only issue is trying to get route rights and agreements to be able to fly to these different countries.
Pacific Blue flies to Fiji, Tonga, the Cook Islands and Vanuatu and will start domestic flights in New Zealand in three months.
