The wait is over. Fiji Airways has officially joined the oneworld airline alliance as a full member, giving Australian travellers new reasons to fly with Fiji’s national carrier.
From 1 April 2025, customers will enjoy a full suite of oneworld benefits, including priority check-in and boarding, earning and redeeming miles and access to nearly 700 airport lounges worldwide.
“Becoming a full member of the oneworld alliance is a proud and momentous milestone for Fiji Airways,” Fiji Airways Managing Director and CEO Andre Viljoen said.
“This achievement reflects our commitment to providing world-class service and expanding our global reach while showcasing the warmth and hospitality of Fiji to the world.
“As a full member, we are excited to offer our customers even greater benefits and seamless connectivity across the extensive oneworld network.
“We look forward to welcoming more oneworld customers onboard to experience the beauty of Fiji and the exceptional service of Fiji Airways.”
With Nadi International Airport as its hub, FJ connects to 25 destinations in 14 countries, including Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo and its newest route to Dallas-Fort Worth – a major win for Aussies heading to the US.
Frequent flyers will also benefit from the carrier adopting the American Airlines AAdvantage program, allowing top-tier members to maximise rewards across the alliance.
Meanwhile, Fiji Link joins as an affiliate airline, boosting connectivity across Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
“Strategic step”
“The introduction of Fiji Airways marks an important strategic step for our alliance as we connect even more people, places and experiences than ever before,” oneworld CEO Nat Pieper said.
“Fiji Airways customers will benefit from oneworld’s global reach of more than 900 destinations, priority services and premium lounge access, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the oneworld family.”
Fiji’s national carrier recently earned a ‘Five Star Major Airline’ rating from APEX for the third year and multiple Skytrax 2024 awards, including Best Airline in Australia/Pacific.
In late 2024, Fiji Airways unveiled new Cairns-Nadi flights, bridging North Queensland and North America. Read more about that here.
