Fiji Airways will start providing a new direct service between Nadi, Fiji, and Cairns, Australia, commencing April 10th next year.

The new direct Nadi-Cairns service will operate three times weekly (Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays).

Cairns passengers can also enjoy seamless connections to Dallas/Fort Worth via Nadi, offering a faster travel option to North America and beyond.

Launching the Nadi-Cairns route is a strategic decision to connect Fiji Airways guests with Northern Australia, a region renowned for its vibrant tourism and economic appeal.

The new Nadi to Cairns direct flights are on sale from today with special introductory fares starting from just FJD$799 Lite* and $899 Value* return per person from Nadi to Cairns.

He says not only does it open the South Pacific to locals as a great holiday destination or to visit loved ones, but maximising the growing network of Fiji Airways means fast, one-stop connectivity to North America via its hub in Nadi.

Destinations such as Los Angeles and San Francisco are now just 16 hours away, slashing nearly three hours of travel time via an Australian domestic port.
