Fiji Airways has announced a major expansion of its Australian network with the launch of new direct flights between Western Sydney International Airport and Nadi, Fiji, with introductory fares on sale now ahead of the inaugural service on 19 March 2027.

Scheduled to operate three times per week on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays with the modern 2-class Boeing 737 MAX 8, the new service will give Australians an additional direct connection to Fiji, along with seamless onward travel across Fiji Airways’ growing international network in the Pacific, Asia and North America.

Fiji Airways is the fourth international carrier to announce services from Western Sydney International and the only airline to offer direct flights to Fiji, connecting travellers to the nation’s 333 islands. The new route will add more than 53,000 seats annually between the two destinations.

“The new Nadi to Western Sydney route is a natural next step for Fiji Airways,” said Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Scurrah.

“It is one of the fastest-growing regions in New South Wales, and the continued investment and development in the area makes it an increasingly important gateway for Australia.

“It’s also home to one of the largest Pacific Islander communities in the country, including a significant Fijian population, so this route is about more than tourism and trade, it’s about making it easier for our own diaspora to stay connected to family and home.”

He said the schedule is ideally timed to facilitate long weekend getaways from both Sydney and Fiji, complementing Fiji Airways existing double-daily services between Kingsford Smith Airport and Nadi.

He said following the launch of WSI, Fiji Airways will fly up to three times daily between Fiji and the Greater Sydney region, providing a greater choice of flight times than any other carrier.

Scurrah said the early morning arrival of the flight into Nadi will allow for seamless connections onto boat and ferry services to the Yasawa and Mamanuca islands, while the flight times also connect efficiently onto Tonga and Samoa flights in both directions.

“Australia is our largest source market, and this new direct service further strengthens connectivity, creating new opportunities for tourism, trade and business travel while making Fiji more accessible than ever,” he said.

“We can’t wait to welcome more Australians onboard the world’s happiest airline.”

To celebrate the launch, Fiji Airways is offering special introductory return fares from Western Sydney to Fiji starting from just $639 AUD, available until 23 September.
