Ocean Advocate Named Fiji Airways Newest Ambassador

Explorer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau has been announced as Fiji Airways newest addition to its suite of brand ambassadors.

In his role as ambassador, the American ocean advocate will work with the country’s national airline to highlight the importance of preserving marine environments and create awareness for more conscious environmental travel.

Fiji Airways managing director and CEO Andre Viljoen said as an airline that was intrinsically connected to our home, “it’s in our interest to have partners who share our values”.

“Jean-Michel is a great friend of Fiji and is a perfect fit for us to showcase the beauty of Fiji and highlight our fragile natural ecosystem,” Mr Viljoen said.

Mr Cousteau who is also the founder and president of Ocean Futures Society said there was untold beauty and inspiration on our ocean planet.

“We can all make a difference – by protecting and conserving all life on our water planet, for us now, and for generations to come,” he said.

He joins former national 7s coach Ben Ryan, Fijian football star Roy Krishna, and national 7s captain Jerry Tuwai who are already part of the Fiji Airways family.
