Air Pacific, Fiji’s national airline, recently revealed that it has inked partnerships with Panasonic Avionics Corporation (Panasonic), Zodiac company Weber Aircraft, and Singapore Airlines Engineering Company (SIAEC) for its re-launch in 2013. The airline will re-launch with a re-brand, returning to its original name, Fiji Airways.
“We’re working with Panasonic, Weber/Zodiac, and SIAEC. These deals are consistent with our desire to work with the very best, as we continue to revitalise the airline and prepare to re-launch as ‘Fiji Airways’ next year,” said David Pflieger, Managing Director and CEO, Air Pacific. Leading entertainment and communications provider, Panasonic, will install their eX2 in-flight entertainment system on the airline’s new A330-200 aircraft, while Weber Aircraft will provide the seats for both Economy and Business Class on-board the new Airbus fleet. SIAEC will design the new fleet’s cabin design and functionality. In the last 12 months, the airline has ordered the three Airbus A330-200 aircraft, increased flights between Fiji and Sydney from seven to 13 times weekly, and it has made investments in revitalising and modernising the airline’s product and services, such as a newly refurbished Tabua Club Lounge at Nadi International. The new Airbus aircraft will be delivered in March 2013, and will fly to Fiji from Sydney, Auckland, Hong Kong, and Los Angeles.
