Fiji Airways Managing Director & CEO, Mr Andre Viljoen said: “We are beyond ecstatic and honoured to receive the Skytrax 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating, the highest possible rating from the world’s leading, independent aviation ratings and audit organisation. The fact that Fiji Airways is only the sixth airline in the world and the first airline from the region, including Australia and New Zealand, to receive this accolade speaks volumes about our unrelenting commitment to the health and medical safety of our customers and staff. We are proud to set standards in our part of the world for COVID-19 air travel; standards drawn up in partnership with in-house and external medical safety advisors like the Fijian Ministry of Health and other partners.”
Mr. Viljoen added: “Skytrax’s extremely rigorous assessment system independently evaluated over 190 protocols in place for COVID safety, and to score perfectly across these is a remarkable achievement by an airline of our size. It places us in the same category as our oneworld partners Japan Airlines and Qatar Airways, as well as Oman Air, Air Baltic and ANA All Nippon Airways. Credit for this first ever 5-Star Rating goes to our entire Fiji Airways team who diligently maintain these COVID safety standards and protocols flight after flight. We continuously enhance our Travel Ready programme as the science evolves, so customers can fly assured that we have their safety and wellbeing as our highest priority. We look forward to resuming scheduled commercial flights as soon as border restrictions ease.”
