On June 3, the Oneworld global airline alliance announced Fiji Airways will become its 15th full member airline. The integration—planned for June 2025—is predicted to be smooth sailing since the flag carrier of Fiji and the South Pacific has already been a Oneworld connect partner for five years, which is one tier below full membership.
This announcement comes on the heels of Oneworld’s 25th anniversary and the opening of proprietary lounges in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) and Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN). It also comes at a time when there’s plenty of inventory for award flights to and from Fiji, which can be easily booked through select partner programs already.
Here’s everything you need to know about Fiji Airways’ upcoming full Oneworld membership—plus how to score free tickets to Fiji and the South Pacific now.
With a hub at Nadi International Airport on the main Fijian island of Viti Levu, Fiji Airways serves 26 destinations across 15 countries and territories. Its fleet of 21 aircraft includes Airbus A350s, Airbus A330s, and Boeing 737s. Of most relevance for the North American market, Fiji Airways offers daily direct service between Los Angeles and Nadi, five times weekly service to and from San Francisco, thrice weekly service to and from Vancouver, and weekly service to and from Honolulu. From Nadi, passengers can also connect to other hot spots in Oceania on Fiji Airways, including Auckland, New Zealand, and Sydney, Australia.
Currently a Oneworld connect partner, Fiji Airways will become the 15th full member of the Oneworld global alliance by June 2025. It will join current members Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian, SriLankan Airlines, and soon-to-be member Oman Air. By the time the membership is complete, Fiji Link, a subsidiary of Fiji Airways, will also become an affiliate airline of Oneworld, broadening the alliance’s reach domestically within Fiji as well as regionally to more Pacific Island nations, such as Tonga and Vanuatu.
