Fiji Airways is planning to increase its fleet size by 25 percent as part of a five-year strategic plan approved by the airline’s board in mid-December 2013.
Developed through input from customers, employers and stakeholders, the airline’s plan includes three focus areas: increasing operating profits and passenger numbers and expanding the airline’s route network through key airline partnerships in addition to growing the number of aircrafts and available seats.
In order to increase its fleet size by 25 percent, the airline is planning to add new A330-200, B737-800s and ATR72-600s aircraft. The additional aircraft will support plans to increase the number of available seats and passengers across all markets by 35 percent and 39 percent, respectively, the airline said.
“Our aim is to be a world-class airline matched by an ambitious but solid financial plan that expands on current successes and takes our airline to a new level,” Stefan Pichler, Fiji Airways’ Managing Director and CEO, said in a news release.
