The timing for the Fijian Government’s decision to relax Fiji’s entry requirements could not be better, as we head into the best time of year to visit Fiji, says Fiji Airways MDCEO Andre Viljoen.

“We’re already projecting big arrivals numbers over the coming months and now we expect the numbers to look even better,” he said following the revised budget announcement yesterday in Parliament by the Attorney-General and Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

From 7 April, travelling to Fiji will be as easy as showing proof of vaccination, a negative pre-departure rapid test, travel insurance, and a rapid test within 24 hours of arrival.

“We expect to see a surge in bookings from Fijians living overseas as they look to reconnect with family and friends as well as Fiji citizens returning home,” Mr Viljoen said.

“Our guests can trust our commitment to safety. As part of our award-winning Travel Ready service, our entire workforce is fully vaccinated and boosted. We have medically qualified Customer Wellness Champions onboard to offer medical guidance and assistance if required.

“We are the only airline in the Australia-Pacific region to offer this service, as well as the only one in the region to achieve a Skytrax 5-Star COVID Safety rating and the highest Hospital Grade “Diamond” certification by APEX Health and Safety.”
