Court to hear Fiji Airways $3.16m Israel charter payment dispute in April

The hearing in the matter where Fiji Airways has filed a case against the charterers of a flight to Israel in 2023 for allegedly not paying $3.16 million will be held on April 9th. 

The matter was called before Acting Master Liyanage Wickramasekera in the Civil High Court this morning. 

Air Pacific, trading as Fiji Airways, has filed a civil lawsuit against Wabs Pacific Limited, Kane Holding Pte Ltd, Viliame Gonelevu and others, Manasa Kolivuso and Michael Mausio for allegedly not paying for the chartered flight.

The charter flight, operated in September and October 2023, transported passengers to the Feast of the Tabernacle religious tour in Israel.

Kane Holdings PTE Limited, the trustees of the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, have filed a separate application to strike out Fiji Airways’ claims.

Fiji Airways has also filed an application against Manasa Kolivuso and other trustees of Faith Harvest Church's defamation claim. 

The hearing on April 9th will be on all three applications.
