Fiji Airways Expands Australian Network with New Direct Service

Fiji Airways has announced the launch of direct flights from Gold Coast Airport to Nadi International Airport, starting June 11, 2026. The airline will operate three times weekly on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays using its Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. The new service is expected to bring 53,000 seats to the market annually and is supported by the Queensland government’s Connecting Queensland Fund. Fiji Airways’ Managing Director and CEO, Paul Scurrah, stated that the Gold Coast is a natural fit for the airline, and the new route will strengthen ties between Fiji and Australia. The airline is offering special introductory return fares starting at FJ$799 ($350) from Fiji to the Gold Coast until December 31, 2025. The route marks a significant expansion of Fiji Airways’ Australian network and is part of the airline’s efforts to increase its presence in the region. The launch was first reported by AeroTime.
