Fiji Airways has been awarded diamond certification which is the highest standard for travel safeguards during COVID-19 by the Airline Passenger Experience Association and SimpliFlying.

The diamond rating is the highest attainable rating in the audit conducted by APEX Health Safety powered by SimpliFlying and offered only to airlines that provide hospital-grade health safety measures.

The intensive audit investigates 58 areas across 10 stages of a customer’s airline experience from online check-in, testing and contact tracing, airport journey, lounge and onboard experience.

Fiji Airways Managing Director and CEO, Andre Viljoen says this is a testament to how seriously they take their Travel Ready Programme which safeguards the health, well being and medical safety of its customers and staff.
