SODELPA Leader, Viliame Gavoka has told the Government side that they should not try and teach them as Air Pacific has been there since the 70s and FijiFirst was only born yesterday however Attorney General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says this just shows that SODELPA is ageist against the young people.

Gavoka made the comment in parliament and stated that it is just amazing to see how FijiFirst appears to have taken ownership of the airline company and continues to say that the Opposition does not understand and appreciate the value of Fiji Airways to the country.

Gavoka says they are the ones who brought up the airline.

Sayed-Khaiyum says Gavoka and SODELPA are being ageist.
