Fiji Airways has achieved a remarkable distinction by ranking 10th in the prestigious 2025 World’s Best Awards conducted by Travel + Leisure, establishing itself among the top international airlines. This recognition is a testament to the airline’s dedicated service, local hospitality, and continual growth.
Andre Viljoen, the outgoing managing director and CEO of Fiji Airways, attributed this accolade to the hard work and dedication of the airline’s team, stating, “This recognition reflects the heart of our incredible team – bringing warmth, happiness, and the true spirit of Fiji to every journey.” Under his leadership, the airline has focused on embracing innovation and making strategic investments, helping it transition smoothly into its full membership in the oneworld alliance earlier this year, which has significantly broadened its global reach and enhanced service quality.
The airline’s recent achievements have been noteworthy, including being rated a five-star airline by APEX for the third consecutive year, which only 40 airlines worldwide have achieved. These milestones underscore Fiji Airways’ commitment to outstanding passenger experiences and operational excellence. Furthermore, the airline’s expansion of long-haul routes, particularly the upcoming non-stop flights to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport set to commence in December 2024, points towards exciting new opportunities for travelers.
This accolade, in conjunction with the airline’s overall trajectory, serves as a source of inspiration not only for Fiji Airways but also for the broader aviation industry. It highlights the resilience and spirit of both the airline and the Fijian nation in the face of challenges, reinforcing Fiji’s reputation as a distinguished travel destination.
Fiji Airways continues to exemplify the essence of Fijian hospitality while driving forward with a commitment to excellence, inspiring hope for future growth in the aviation sector.
