Reduced Capacity To Funafuti Due To Fuel Truck Unserviceability

Fiji Airways regrets to inform its esteemed guests and the public about an ongoing issue affecting our flights to and from Funafuti, Tuvalu.

Due to the unserviceability of the airports fuel truck, Fiji Airways has to carry return fuel on all flights.

This significantly reduces passenger and baggage capacity to the Island.

The situation is beyond our immediate control, and the Funafuti team is working diligently to resolve the matter as swiftly as possible.

In the interim, we are taking proactive steps to manage the situation, assist the Funafuti authorities, and minimize further disruptions.

We kindly request affected passengers to remain patient and understanding as we navigate through this challenge.

Additionally, we encourage all guests to stay updated on the latest developments by visiting our travel alerts page at https://www.fijiairways.com/manage/travel-alerts.
