Fiji Airways will begin flying between Western Sydney Airport, Australia's newest airport, and Nadi from 19 March 2027, becoming the sixth airline to sign on to Sydney's new gateway. Tickets for the Fiji flag carrier's new Western Sydney flights went on sale today, with introductory return fares to Fiji starting from just $639 AUD.
Fiji Airways will operate three times weekly between Nadi and Western Sydney, with flights every Monday, Friday and Sunday. Services will be operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 narrowbody aircraft fitted with 162 economy seats and 8 recliner business class seats.
Fiji Airways is making the most of WSI's lack of curfew, unlike Kingsford Smith, but the Nadi-bound flight timing is somewhat brutal for passengers. The good news is that the schedule allows for seamless connections within Fiji, as well as Tonga, Samoa and other destinations across Fiji Airways' wider network.
- FJ991 Nadi to Western Sydney: Departs 7:10pm, arrives 10:55pm (5hr)
- FJ990 Western Sydney to Nadi: Departs 11:55pm, arrives 4:55am+1 (4hr)
The new route runs alongside Fiji Airways' existing twice-daily Nadi to Kingsford Smith flights, as well as its routes to Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Canberra (ending in February), the Gold Coast and Melbourne.
Fiji Airways CEO Paul Scurrah said the new Western Sydney route is a natural next step for the airline. "It is one of the fastest-growing regions in New South Wales, and a direct route there means easier, more affordable access for Australians looking to holiday in Fiji."
"Australia is our largest source market, and this new direct service further strengthens connectivity, creating new opportunities for tourism, trade and business travel while making Fiji more accessible than ever."
Fiji Airways Drops Sydney-Nadi Fares From $639
Fiji Airways is running a Western Sydney launch sale to mark the new route, with introductory return Economy Lite fares from $639 AUD and Business Class from $1,999 AUD. The sale runs from 9 to 23 September 2026, for travel between 19 March and 5 August 2027.
Sale fares can be booked at FijiAirways.com until sold out.
