Fuel issues affect Fiji Airways flights to and from Tuvalu

Fiji Airways says ongoing issues regarding fuel has been affecting their flights to and from Funafuti, in Tuvalu.

They say due to the unserviceability of the airport’s fuel truck, Fiji Airways has to carry return fuel on all flights.

They say the situation is beyond immediate control, and the Funafuti team is working diligently to resolve the matter as swiftly as possible.

Fiji Airways adds in the interim, they are taking proactive steps to manage the situation, assist the Funafuti authorities, and minimize further disruptions.

They are urging affected passengers to remain patient as they navigate through this challenge.
