Fiji Airways today signed a US$65 million Liquidity Support Loan Facility with the Asian Development Bank.
The Support Facility is to help the airline cover operating costs and meet financial obligations while the travel demand remains non-existent due to the pandemic-induced border closures.
The financing comprises a $40 million loan from ADB and a further $25 million loan from the Leading Asia’s Private Infrastructure Fund, which will be administered by ADB.
Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Andre Viljoen says they are delighted to receive ADB’s financial support at this critical time.

Fiji Link has introduced mobile boarding pass options for customers checking in online for domestic flights for Nadi, Suva and Labasa.

Fiji Link adds customers can then self-scan their paper or mobile boarding pass at the Boarding Gates, to further reduce contact and the risk of cross-contamination between different groups of people.
