Fiji Airways excited to be new partner of Fiji Rugby

Fiji Rugby now takes flight with Fiji Airways and the entire team at our national airline is thrilled.

This is the opening line of a statement from Managing Director and CEO of Fiji Airways Stefan Pichler as they come on board as a new partner with Fiji Rugby.

Pichler said as Fiji’s national sport, rugby is part of the country’s national psyche - as is Fiji Airways.

That is why they are only too happy to support our national team which is so close to the hearts of all Fijians.

He said that the sponsorship agreement also allows them rights over the national 7s team for the popular Wellington, Hong Kong and Gold Coast 7s tournaments, as well as engaging with partners throughout the rugby season.

He said the plan is to use this to boost their profile in key tourism source markets and by doing so, their goal is to increase visitors to Fiji, directly contributing to Fiji’s economy.

Pichler added being a partner is a matter of great excitement for them.

Fiji Airways is able and ready to promote one of Fiji’s greatest assets – it’s rugby players and this will also benefit Fijian tourism.
