Punctuality stood at 87.83% with a -0.38 pp year-over-year change in percentage points. Cancellations totaled 32 (+45.45% YoY), rising off a small base; the increase coincided with winter weather in the South Pacific and occasional ATC flow programs at regional gateways. Fiji Airways prioritized recovery by pre-positioning standby crews in Nadi, tightening turn processes at outstations, and using spare capacity to protect banked connections.

Airlines Serving Key Hubs

Nadi (NAN) functions as the primary hub, concentrating inbound flows from Australia and New Zealand and distributing them across Pacific and long‑haul sectors. Suva (SUV) supports domestic and short regional links that feed the main bank structure at Nadi. The carrier times waves to maximize connectivity onto overnight departures and early‑morning arrivals, improving aircraft utilization and minimizing connection risk.

Outlook

Passengers can expect solid operational reliability through the peak season, with stable on‑time performance and robust connection support at Nadi; book early and allow comfortable connection windows during mid‑July weekends. Industry observers should watch ongoing investments in turnaround discipline, crew rostering tools, and spare capacity to improve disruption recovery. Through late winter, the carrier plans to protect core leisure flows while evaluating selective frequency adds on resilient Pacific routes.
