THE Australian Government has signed a new expanded air services agreement with Fiji.
Transport Minister Michael McCormack said the new pact allowed for a capacity increase of more than 20% – the largest such boost since 1999.
“It supports our tourism, trade and cultural links between Australia and Fiji,” he said, with almost 390,000 passengers flying on the route in the year to 30 Jun.
McCormack also revealed a new agreement with the Philippines, including unlimited freight capacity and a 15% boost to passenger entitlements over the next six months to accommodate expected growth on the route in the coming years.
