Operating a fleet of 14 aircraft across 27 destinations, it is a member of the oneworld alliance, according to Wikipedia. This membership expands its reach through codeshare and interline agreements with partner airlines. Its recognition as an APEX World Class Airline underscores its role not only as Fiji's national airline but also as a boutique global carrier capable of competing with much larger airlines on service and quality.
