Future of Air Fiji still unknown
It has been confirmed that a meeting planned between the Tuvalu government officials, who own majority shares in Air Fiji, and government officials is yet to take place as the Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Commodore Frank Bainimarama and his Permanent Secretary are out of the country.
It is expected that the two parties will now meet at a later date to make a decision on the future operations of the airline company.
All Air Fiji offices have been shut down until further notice and the employees have been barred from entering the premises at the Nausori and Nadi airports.
Many of the phone lines to Air Fiji offices also say that the line is no longer available.
Some employees of Air Fiji also claim that they have not been paid for over two weeks and they are not being told what the future holds for them.
Meanwhile, attempts to contact the Air Fiji CEO and the Manager Finance proved futile.
