Fiji Airways has operated its first freighter flight between Nadi and Sydney. Fiji Airways’ Airbus A350-900WXB aircraft carried 41 tonnes of fresh produce across to Sydney. On the return sector, the airline assisted the Fijian Ministry of Health by bringing back 11.1 tonnes of medical equipment from Sydney. The medical equipment, donated by UNICEF, consists of temperature screening tents which is vital in the fight against COVID-19.

Mr. Andre Viljoen, Fiji Airways Managing Director, and CEO said: ‘We are delighted to start our freight flights from this Sunday with a full shipment of fresh produce to Sydney on our A350 aircraft. This will greatly assist growers, producers, and exporters to continue their business, support the economy and support the livelihood of Fijians dependent on these sectors. We are also more than happy to carry the medical equipment from Sydney for Fijian Health authorities free of charge.”

Importers and businesses, especially those wishing to bring in essential supplies to Fiji from Sydney this Sunday can contact their Freight Forwarders for bookings.

Mr. Viljoen added: “Our A350 aircraft with its superior cargo payload capacity is ideally suited for freight purposes in the current situation. We encourage all producers, exporters, and importers to contact their Freight Forwarders to book space, which will allow us to determine demand and schedule freight services to/from overseas markets accordingly.”
