SUVA, March 7 (Xinhua) -- Fiji Airways and India's Jet Airways have formed a codeshare partnership which offers guests travelling on both carriers convenient and seamless connectivity, the government-owned Fiji Broadcasting Corporation (FBC) reported Tuesday.
The codeshare agreement, a first-of-its-kind between airlines of the two countries, will address the growing demand for travel between Fiji and India, the FBC said.
In line with the agreement, Jet Airways will place its "9W" code on Fiji Airways' flights from Singapore and Hong Kong to Nadi, Fiji, and Fiji Airways will place its "FJ" code on Jet Airways' services between Singapore and Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai as well as between Hong Kong and Mumbai and Delhi.
Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, Fiji's attorney-general and civil aviation minister, said the seamless connectivity that the codeshare offers for travellers between Fiji and Jet Airways destinations in India and beyond opens up all sorts of possibilities for tourism and trade.
