MR goodness
says:I would rather them order boeing 787-9 would be better for Fiji airways because of the ambience factor.
Les From sydney
says:But already having a Airbus fleet, it would make no sense to add in a different product that would require re-training, parts and maintenance. Dont get me wrong, Love the 787.
David Fix
says:When will it fly to Sydney?
Matt
says:I think the aircraft arrived into Auckland yesterday and was given a water cannon salute.
Patrick Schwarz
says:They need to order the A350 to keep within the Airbus training.
Aden O'keefe-Buckton
says:Cool
Dee
says:I think they would be looking at the cost factor of B787 verse the A333, with plans to replace the 200’s with 330 NEO’s. This would give Fiji Airways a fuel efficient platform with new interiors that will save on purchase cost, and fuel and servicing prices.
