Supplementary flights were in opera­tion to cater for affected customers on Fiji Link flight FJ36 and FJ35.

Fiji Link flight FJ15 bound for Suva from Nadi was delayed by a minor operational issue that was detected during taxing by the pilots at Nadi Airport on Tuesday, says a Fiji Airways spokesperson.

“Following an examination of the air­craft, the Fiji Link Airport Operations and Engineering team identified and rec­tified the issue and deemed the aircraft fit to fly by 2:30pm,” the spokesperson said.

However, the flight was then further de­layed due to poor weather and could not depart until the weather cleared with the aircraft departing at 3:51pm.

In regards to the video/image, the spokesperson said: “The image is of the aircraft in a stationary position back at the domestic gate, with engines off.

“The aircraft experienced a slight back tilt upon ground operations staff board­ing the aircraft via the rear stairs”.
