Fiji’s newly rebranded national carrier, Fiji Airways, has touched down at Los Angeles International Airport for the first time, sporting its new livery.
The carrier, formerly known as Air Pacific, has now launched flights from Fiji to LA using its brand new Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which seats 273 passengers in two classes. It takes over the LA route from the old Boeing 747-400, which will now be removed from the airline’s fleet.
“We are honoured to be Fiji’s flying ambassador to the world – now the Fijian experience starts the moment you enter the plane,” said Aubrey Swift, Fiji Airways’ acting CEO. “From the traditional Fijian Masi artwork that adorns the tail of the aircraft, to the rich interior, to its own staff, to the name, this airline proudly represents all that the Fijian culture and our beautiful islands stand for.”
Fiji Airways will offer six weekly flights to and from LA from now until December 2013, when it will add a seventh. An eighth weekly service will be added for peak travel seasons.
Onboard the new aircraft passengers will be offered 24 flat-bed seats in the new business class and 249 new seats in a revamped economy (replacing the old Tabua and Pacific Voyager cabins). All seats come equipped with personal in-flight entertainment and USB ports.
