Fiji Airways is to acquire two new Airbus A350 aircraft later this year as part of widebody aircraft expansion plans.

The new additions will be used primarily to service popular routes between Australia, Nadi and the US and are due to arrive in November and December.

The planes will be leased from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise and are currently being customized to the airline’s specifications and painted in its arresting livery.

They will complement its existing fleet of six Airbus A330s.

It will feature 33 B/E Aerospace Super Diamond fully lie-flat business seats offering direct aisle access and 301 Recaro CL3710 seats in economy.
