Virgin Australia operate a regular service from/to Sydney, with connections to many other Australian cities.

Fiji Link, Fiji Airways new domestic airline subsidiary, operates an extensive domestic flight network covering all the countries main islands, with at least a daily service. The main northern islands receive at least two flights a day and some times more, the less populated islands get a restricted service, so sometimes a night stop in Nadi or Suva may be required when connecting between some of the less popular islands.
Pacific Island Air operate various transfer routings from Nadi and Denerau to many of the resorts in the Mamanucas, Yasawas, and some Coral Coast resorts, by helicopter and by seaplane. Helicopter transfers to the islands can be arranged from Nadi Airport or from Denerau Island where as the seaplanes depart from the airport only. They can also arrange sightseeing flights and activity excursions. Due to the small size of these aircraft, Pacific Island Air require an approximate weight of each passenger booked, so they can work out the trim of the aircraft (weight and balance for operational requirements). Also, luggage weight is restricted on transfer flights to 20kg per person for seaplane and fixed wing aircraft, and 15kg pp for helicopter flights. No allowance for infants. Excess baggage rates are FJD10 (approx £3.60) per kg.
A number of the outer island Resorts operate their own dedicated daily flights, to transfer their clients from Nadi to the resort and back, using either fixed wing commuter aircraft, seaplanes or helicopters. Further details of these will be given at the time we provide our quotation.
