“Australia is Fiji’s number one source of visitors and with the population growing rapidly in the south east corner of Queensland, we know the time is right to introduce this service,” said Air Pacific’s managing director and chief executive officer, John Campbell.
“Gold Coast residents will be able to board a non-stop flight and be on the ground in Fiji in just over three hours,” he said.
“Conversely, Fijian residents can conveniently visit the Gold Coast with their families and enjoy the best theme parks in the southern hemisphere,” he added.
