Fiji Airways has been named an Official Airline Partner of the LA Clippers for the 2024-25 NBA season, strengthening the national airline’s connection with Los Angeles.

Fiji Airways says it proudly offers the only non-stop connection daily between the tropical paradise of Fiji and the bustling city of Los Angeles, providing convenient travel and its award-winning service for passengers.

With this new partnership, the airline will enhance its presence in the Los Angeles community, particularly through its branding extensively featured at games, exclusive promotions and contests, and its involvement in the LA Clippers youth camps and clinics.

Fiji Airways Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Andre Viljoen says they are thrilled to support the Clippers and their fans, both on and off the court, and bring their long-standing direct service from Los Angeles to Fiji into the spotlight.

Viljoen says this marks their first sponsorship with an NBA team, and they couldn’t be more excited.

He says combined with their recent announcements of the direct service to Dallas, their adoption of the American Airlines AAdvantage loyalty program, and their anticipated full membership in the Oneworld Alliance by 2025, partnering with the LA Clippers represents the 7th of their 9 Game-Changer strategies aimed at driving growth across North America.

As part of the 3-year sponsorship, the airline’s branding will be predominantly displayed throughout the team’s brand-new arena, Intuit Dome, during all Clippers home games in the upcoming NBA season, enticing audiences with the allure of Fiji’s 333 islands. Clippers fans will benefit from special travel offers, promotions and thrilling on-court contests throughout the 2024-25 NBA Season.

Fans will also have the chance to win a variety of exclusive prizes, including free flights to Fiji, travel packages, and VIP game experience.

LA Clippers and Intuit Dome Chief Commercial Officer, Scott Sonnenberg says they are honored to be Fiji Airways' first partner within the NBA, and work together to reach new audiences across the globe.

Fiji Airways operates daily nonstop flights between Nadi and Los Angeles on the state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 XWB aircraft with spacious seats in economy and 33 lie-flat seats in business class.
