Australian low-cost carrier Jetstar has announced it will introduce four Fiji flights a week between Sydney and Nadi from March 29.
Using A320 aircraft for its inaugural flight, there will be special fare deals aimed to coincide with the peak Easter holiday period, the airline said.
Special fares (JetSaver Light) have gone on sale from $149 one way at Jetstar.com for two days.
Jetstar Holidays is also offering a range of special sale packages to Fiji that combine Jetstar’s special fares with a range of accommodation, starting from $591 a person for four nights.
Jetstar’s everyday fares between Sydney and Nadi are now available from $229 (JetSaver Light).
Jetstar CEO Bruce Buchanan said Jetstar is committed to offering the lowest fares and holiday packages to Fiji from Sydney with connections to and from other Australian cities.
Inflight service to Fiji includes the choice of portable video-on-demand hire units offering new movie releases, TV programs, music videos and audio tracks, plus a range of hot food, snacks and beverages, including alcoholic drinks available for purchase.
Jetstar, a low-cost Qantas subsidiary, and V Australia, were granted capacity on the Fiji route by the International Air Services Commission in October.
The Qantas Group was awarded 852 seats of capacity per week which the commission said must be used no later than April 2010.
V Australia, which was awarded 907 seats per week, has announced daily flights between Sydney and Nadi from December 18.
