Fiji Airways to fly to Singapore Changi Airport twice weekly, special launch fares starting from F$999.
Friday, 6 November 2015: Fiji Airways, Fiji’s National Airline, has announced plans to commence twice weekly direct services to Singapore from April 5th, 2016. The flights will operate from Nadi International Airport on Tuesdays and Fridays*, with flights times to suit onward connections to India and South East Asia. The airline also announced special launch fare from Nadi to Singapore, starting from F$999** all-inclusive. This sale starts Monday November 9th.
Making the announcement in the Fijian Capital, Suva today, Fiji Airways Managing Director and CEO Andre Viljoen said the introduction of direct Singapore flights was excellent news for Fiji Airways customers and all Fijians.
“We will be flying direct to a destination considered as Asia’s leading hub,” Mr. Viljoen stated. “The attractions of Singapore are numerous, from the world’s best airport, Changi, to world-renowned shopping and entertainment.
Fijians will now be able to enjoy the comfort of our A330 aircraft on this 10-hour flight, departing Nadi late night and arriving in Singapore fresh in the morning ready to explore all that this bustling metropolitan city-state has to offer.”
He added that onward connection times to other key destinations would make transiting through Singapore extremely convenient.
“Changi Airport is served by 100 airlines connecting 300 cities in 80 countries and territories, making it one of the most important air transport hubs in the world. Transit times for most onwards flights to key cities in India, Indonesia and Malaysia are under three hours, which adds to the appeal of flying through Singapore. With this, we’re making good on our promise of taking Fijians to the world.”
Changi Airport Group CEO, Mr Lee Seow Hiang said, “This is a significant milestone for Changi Airport, with Fiji Airways’ new service bridging new direct links between Singapore and the South Pacific Islands.
For travellers in Singapore as well as other parts of Asia and Europe, this development makes accessible to them new and exciting holiday destinations in the South Pacific. This certainly adds to Changi’s attractiveness as an air hub.
For Fijian travellers, Singapore is already among their top destinations within Southeast Asia, and we believe this is set to grow further.”
“We are excited about the growth potential of Fiji Airways at Changi Airport, and will work closely with the airline, as well as other tourism and travel partners to maximise growth opportunities.”
The special launch fare of F$999 (limited seats available) will be on sale from Monday November 9th to 22nd, with travel from April 5th, 2016. Fijian passport holders do not require a visa for Singapore.
