Fiji Airways is seeing strong demand in Fiji's inbound tourism market, despite challenges such as higher fuel prices, and this trend supports its aim to boost seat numbers in coming years. Demand has been particularly robust from the core Australian and New Zealand markets, with Asian and US source markets also performing well (with some caveats in the US market).
