Fiji Airways Suspends Dallas Route Due to Rising Fuel Costs and Demand Shifts
Fiji Airways has announced the suspension of its service between Nadi and Dallas-Fort Worth, effective September 7, due to increasing fuel costs and changing passenger demand. The route, which spans 6,624 miles, is currently operated up to three times weekly using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, providing approximately 2,000 two-way weekly seats. Despite this suspension, Fiji Airways will maintain its presence in the U.S. market with up to 11 weekly flights to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and will continue to offer connections to Dallas-Fort Worth through its partnership with American Airlines. The airline is reallocating capacity to markets with stronger demand, such as upgrading its Vancouver flights and increasing Hong Kong frequencies.
