Fiji Airways has recently introduced two brand new ATR aircraft to its fleet, opening up exciting opportunities for enhanced connectivity throughout Fiji and the South Pacific. The arrival of these aircraft marks a significant milestone for the airline, with the first ATR landing on December 29, 2024, swiftly followed by the second on January 5, 2025.
