The services provided by Fiji Airways will not be affected by the grounding of Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft by the Federal Aviation Authority in the US.
Fiji Airways says that it wishes to reassure its valued guests that there is no impact on its Boeing 737 MAX 8 fleet due to the temporary grounding of a different aircraft model not operated by Fiji Airways, the Boeing 737 MAX 9.
It says the Federal Aviation Authority has issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive specifically for the MAX 9 aircraft only, addressing concerns related to the mid-cabin exit door plug, a feature non-existent in the MAX 8 aircraft.
They stress that the safety of guests and crew is its top priority, with an unwavering commitment to safety throughout the travel experience with Fiji Airways.
