Fiji Airways will fly into Western Sydney International Airport three times a week, as the airline prepares to connect Western Sydney with the key tourist hotspot.
Commencing 19 March 2027, the four-hour flight from WSI to Nadi will be served by Fiji Airway’s 737 MAX 8 aircraft which carry up to 170 passengers.
Fiji Airways joins international carriers Vietjet, Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines, as well as domestic carriers Qantas and Jetstar.
Passenger services at Western Sydney International Airport will commence at 11am on Sunday 25 October 2026, with the first international flight to New Zealand taking off the following day.
Western Sydney’s new 24-hour airport is the centrepiece of the Albanese Labor Government’s near $18 billion investment in Western Sydney, including the future Sydney Metro Airport rail connection and significant road upgrades to nearby Elizabeth Drive, Fifteenth Avenue and Mamre Road. This investment builds upon benefits already delivered through the recent opening of the M12 Motorway.
The entire WSI project has created over 12,800 jobs, half of which have come from the local area.
More than $500 million has also been invested in more than 360 Western Sydney based businesses during major construction works at WSI, including local tradies and construction companies, caterers, and security guards.

Bula Fiji Airways, it’s so good to have you boarding soon at Western Sydney International.
Quotes attributable to Minister for the Pacific Pat Conroy:
Fiji are allies and great mates. The new flights link Fiji’s capital with another key gateway airport to Australia. That’s good news for Aussies looking for a holiday, and Fijians heading to Western Sydney to visit family.
