British Airways and Fiji Airways have signed a
codeshare agreement.
As part of the agreement, British Airways is now
selling flights between Singapore, Los Angeles and San Francisco
and the Fijian gateway of Nadi.
For the customer the partnership means an easy
one-stop-shop booking experience and allows them to earn Avios
loyalty points on both airlines. Customers can earn Avios points
on the Fiji Airways sectors as well as British Airways services
and can choose to cut the cost of flights by using Avios in part payment.
Earlier this month, Fiji
Airways signed up to become the first oneworld connect partner - a
new platform for airlines to link up to the global airline
alliance which includes British Airways as a founding member.
British Airways is one of Fiji Airways’ oneworld connect sponsors
– enabling customers to enjoy more services and benefits when
flying on either airline.
Rishi Kapoor, British Airways’ Head of
Alliances, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Fiji
Airways and welcoming them into the oneworld family. We believe
the start of this codeshare will make Fiji even more popular with
European travellers by offering them a more attractive route
network and a comfortable and seamless travel experience. Fijians
are known around the globe for giving visitors the warmest of
welcomes, so we look forward to giving them an equally warm
welcome onboard our flights very soon.”
Andre Viljoen, Fiji Airways Managing Director &
CEO of Fiji Airways, said, “We are extremely proud to embark on a
codeshare with British Airways to give travellers from the UK
convenient access to our home - Fiji, one of the world’s most
sought after tourism destinations. This is particularly
significant for us as British Airways is our third oneworld
sponsor, just days out from our accession into the alliance as a
oneworld connect airline. Given the close historical ties between
Fiji and Britain, and with thousands of Fijians serving in the
British Army, our partnership will make it easier for families and
friends to visit each other.”
Fiji Airways operates international and domestic
services to 12 countries and 31 cities, including Fiji, Australia,
New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Vanuatu and Solomon
Islands, the US, Hong Kong and Singapore.
