FIJI Airways has submitted an application to the United States Department of Transportation to start a new nonstop route between Nadi, Fiji, and Dallas, Texas.
The airline plans to commence this route as soon as it receives the necessary approvals.
“Fiji Airways recently added new, 334-seat Airbus A350-900 aircraft to its fleet, enabling the airline to expand its network to include service between Nadi and Dallas-Fort Worth,” the application dated July 11, 2024 states.
Fiji Airways plans to operate three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as soon as all required government approvals are obtained.
“Granting this authority aligns with the public interest, as there is currently no direct, nonstop service from Nadi to Dallas-Fort Worth,” the application notes.
“Fiji Airways’ proposed service will offer new travel options for passengers traveling to Fiji from a major market in a new US geographic region with convenient connections to the middle and eastern US.”
Currently, Fiji Airways operates flights to Los Angeles and San Francisco in the USA.
