Payload limitations on its ATR services to Pacific Islands destinations

04th Dec, 2023: Fiji Airways wishes to advise our valued guests that due to the prevailing seasonal weather conditions in the South Pacific region the National Airline is subject to payload limitations on its ATR services to Pacific Islands destinations.

As a consequence flights will operate with reduced seating capacities, and some guests and checked bags may not be accepted on services for which they hold bookings.

This will affect our flights to Funafuti International Airport in Tuvalu, Port Vila in Vanuatu, and two ports in Tonga, namely Vava'u International Airport and Fua'amotu International Airport.

In addition we have until further notice, suspended the acceptance of excess baggage and prepaid additional bags on these services and are restricting cargo acceptance to essential medical and humanitarian supplies.

Whilst unfortunate and undesirable, this decision is made in the interest of the safety of our customers.

This situation is expected to persist into January 2024.

Guests holding confirmed bookings who wish to change their flights to dates after 30th January 2024 may do so free of charge by contacting Fiji Airways Reservations reservations@fijiairways.com.

Fiji Airways wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused and thanks our customers for their patience and understanding.
