The Fiji Airways is proud to support the Fijian Flying Circus on its first Australian tour, backing one of Fiji's most exciting cultural exports in a landmark celebration of contemporary Fijian creativity, storytelling and connection.
The Brisbane Festival’s 2026 programme launch, the partnership will see professional Fijian performers travel across Australia, in a contemporary Pacific production that blends storytelling rooted in Fijian myths, legends and folklore with the spectacle of contemporary circus.
The 2026 Australia Tour will reach audiences across Darwin, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, showcasing Fijian talent on some of Australia's biggest stages including the Brisbane Festival, running from 4th September to 4th October.
For Fiji Airways, the partnership represents more than just flight support, it is about carrying the spirit of Fiji beyond its shores and creating a global stage for Fijian talent; a natural extension of the airline's mission to be the World's Happiest Airline.
Fiji Airways will also feature VOU's circus video on its in-flight entertainment, bringing the energy and artistry of the Fijian Flying Circus to passengers travelling to and from Fiji, and extending the reach of both VOU and the VOU Foundation.
Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Scurrah says the partnership reflects the airline’s broader role as a connector of people, cultures and experiences across the Pacific.
Scurrah says they don't just fly people to Fiji, they fly Fiji to the world and this partnership with VOU brings Fiji's culture, creativity and talent directly to Australian audiences, and that is something they are enormously proud of.
Founder and Director of VOU, Sachiko Soro says this partnership gives their talented Fijian artists wings to fly to audiences all over Australia to share magic moments of human connection.
Soro says through this partnership Fiji Airways is also enabling the education and training of Fijian youth through our Conservatorium of Dance scholarship programs.
He says it is his dream that people leaving the Fijian Flying Circus will feel inspired and want to come visit us in our island home.
Australians inspired to experience Fiji for themselves can fly directly with Fiji Airways from seven Australian cities; Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Cairns and Canberra, and Gold Coast travellers won't have to wait long either, with Fiji Airways launching its brand-new Gold Coast–Nadi route in just two days, on 11 June 2026.
