Qantas’ Fiji Air mulls changes

Company News


Qantas Airways Limited (ASX:QAN)-backed Fiji Airways will consider new destinations and closer alliances with other airlines as part of a five-year plan.
 
Fjii's national carrier says it’s open to expanding its alliance with Qantas from a basic interline agreement to a code-share deal.
 
The Fijian government owns 51 per cent of the airline, while Qantas has 46 per cent.
 
The relationship between the two hit a low last year when Qantas removed its four representatives from the airline's board after the Fiji government announced its intention to take absolute control.
 
Fiji Airways says it will consider new routes, but is unlikely to make major changes in the medium term.
 
Qantas generated a net profit of $6 million in fiscal 2013.
