Fiji Airways, Fiji’s National Airline and Alaska Airlines continue to strengthen their codeshare partnership, with the latest expansion adding a number of destinations to Fijian carrier’s network via its San Francisco hub.

Their extensive North American network offers guests from some of the region’s most populous cities a convenient connection to our home – Fiji – and its renowned tourism attractions. It’s good for Fiji, Fijian tourism and both airlines. Conversely, our Fijian guests will now enjoy excellent connectivity to these wonderful US cities thanks for this expanded agreement.”
