Fiji Airways to Suspend NadiDallas Nonstop, Redeploy Jets to Stronger Routes

Soaring fuel prices plus shifting demand made the ultra‑long Texas link uneconomic.

Overview

  • Fiji Airways will halt NAN–DFW flights effective September 7, 2026, ending a service launched in December 2024 that was the carrier’s longest at about 6,625 miles.
  • The airline will move affected travelers to same‑day options via Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Vancouver, with customers contacted for rebooking, credit, or refunds.
  • Capacity shifts follow the cut, with Vancouver upgauged from Airbus A330 to A350 from September 8 and Hong Kong increased to up to four weekly flights from September 22.
  • The carrier says jet fuel prices have more than doubled since the start of the year, which raises costs sharply on very long routes where fares often cannot offset the extra burn.
  • Fiji Airways keeps up to 11 weekly U.S. flights via LAX and SFO, and Dallas access continues through its codeshare with American Airlines.
