Fiji Airways is celebrating 10 years of its route between Fiji and Singapore, a service that has strengthened tourism, trade, and global connectivity. Since 2016, the route has carried over 318,000 passengers and become a key link to Asia, Europe, and beyond through Singapore Changi Airport, reinforcing Fiji Airways’ presence in international markets.
The Fiji–Singapore route has evolved into a vital connection over the past decade, significantly enhancing Fiji Airways’ reach into Asia and global markets. By linking Nadi with Singapore, the airline established a strategic gateway that not only facilitates direct travel but also supports broader international access. The consistent operation of the route, now running twice weekly, reflects its stability and importance within the airline’s network, demonstrating sustained demand and long-term viability.
A key strength of the route lies in its role as a transit hub, with approximately one third of passengers connecting beyond Singapore to destinations across Asia, Europe, and other global regions. This highlights the importance of Singapore Changi Airport as a world-class aviation hub, enabling seamless onward travel. At the same time, the majority of passengers travel directly between Fiji and Singapore, showing a balanced demand between point-to-point travel and global connectivity. This dual function has contributed to steady growth, with passenger numbers increasing at an average rate of around 10 percent annually.
Beyond passenger movement, the route has played a broader role in strengthening economic and cultural ties. It has supported tourism growth, facilitated business travel, and enabled cargo movement, reinforcing Fiji’s connection to Asia and key markets such as India. The 10-year milestone reflects not only the success of the route but also Fiji Airways’ ongoing commitment to expanding global connectivity while maintaining a strong presence in strategic international hubs.
Founded in 1951, the Fiji Airways Group includes Fiji Airways, Fiji’s international airline, and its wholly owned domestic and regional subsidiary, Fiji Link. Operating from its hubs at Nadi and Suva (Nausori) International Airports, the two carriers serve 36 destinations across 14 countries—including those operated through codeshare agreements and Fiji Link services.

Its network includes Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong (SAR China), Singapore, India, Japan, Mainland China, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands.
