Fiji Airways this week commenced its longest flight and first-ever direct service between Nadi and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. The new service operates three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays initially, with seamless connections between Australia and Fiji.

The inaugural 13-hour flight from Nadi, Fiji to Texas was greeted with a water cannon salute as it taxied to the gate.

Fiji Airways is operating its state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 XWB aircraft on the new route, offering premium seating for 334 customers, including 33 lie-flat, aisle-access Business class seats for ultimate comfort and convenience.

Andre Viljoen, CEO and Managing Director of Fiji Airways said “Fiji Airways is significantly enhancing connectivity across North America, offering Australians more convenient travel options with seamless connections from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide and Cairns starting next April.”

“This expansion not only opens doors for Australian travellers but also strengthens the inbound market, bringing more visitors from Texas and beyond to experience the beauty of Fiji and Australia. With over 2,000 additional seats per week added to our network, we’re excited to see strong demand already building in both directions,” Viljoen added.

Sean Donohue, Chief Executive Officer of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, said: “DFW is excited to add the beautiful islands of Fiji to our growing portfolio of international destinations, bringing North Texas nonstop access to a tropical paradise and connecting Nadi with DFW’s network of more than 250 destinations around the world.”

DFW is currently ranked the second most connected airport in the world, providing Fiji Airways passengers with easier access to more than 250 global destinations.

The DFW-NAN route strengthens Fiji Airways’ expanding presence in North America, joining existing services to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu and Vancouver to be the fifth direct route in the North American region.

This new route also marks Fiji Airways’ 26th international direct route, and with the airline’s growing network, will connect seamlessly with the airline’s 27th direct service to Cairns, Australia launching from 10 April 2025.

To celebrate the launch of the service, Fiji Airways is offering return flights from Australia to Dallas/Fort Worth from just $1,599 per person via Nadi, Fiji available until 17 December 2024.
