Finnair and Fiji Airways have agreed a new codeshare partnership on flights between Finland's Helsinki (HEL) and Fiji's Nadi (NAN), commencing on 27 October.
Finnair’s AY code will be added to Fiji Airways’ flights between Hong Kong (HKG), Singapore (SIN), Narita (NRT) and Nadi. Finnair’s flight numbers will later be added to Fiji’s flights between San Francisco (SFO), Los Angeles (LAX) and Nadi, subject to applicable government approvals.
Fiji Airways’ FJ code will also be added to Finnair’s flights to Helsinki via Singapore.
Ole Orvér, chief commercial officer at Finnair, commented: “We are excited about this cooperation with Fiji Airways and are delighted to offer this wonderful new destination in the South Pacific to our customers.
“This cooperation is unique as it will allow Finnair customers to purchase around-the-world routings under Finnair’s code for the very first time, using a combination of gateways in Asia and on the US West Coast. We would also like to warmly welcome Fiji Airways’ customers to enjoy the wonders of Finland and the Nordics.”
Fiji Airways managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen is excited for the codeshare agreement to commence.
He said: “We welcome our fellow oneworld partner Finnair in our family of codeshare partners.
“Through this partnership, we are adding the wonderful city of Helsinki to our network, making Fiji and the entire South Pacific more accessible for Finnair customers. We look forward to working with Finnair and introducing Finnair customers to Fiji, one of the world’s most welcoming and authentic cultures.”
