The government and the representatives of the Tuvalu government are yet to meet to discuss the future of Air Fiji Limited which has closed all its offices in the country.

The Tuvalu government which has 51% shares in Air Fiji has not given any reason for the closure of Air Fiji and has said that its representatives will meet with the Fiji government to discuss the matter.

Questions sent to the Tuvalu High Commission remain unanswered this afternoon while the Ministry of Finance is also yet to respond.

Meanwhile, despite claims by the Transport Workers Union, the Office of the Prime Minister confirmed that they have not received any communication from the Union regarding Air Fiji.

Over 170 employees of Air Fiji Limited remain without work and pay since early this month with still no word from the airline company on what the future holds for them.

The airline’s all 11 aircrafts are still grounded since late April.

Several employees of Air Fiji, when contacted by Fijivillage said that they are facing a lot of problems in making ends meet, making payments for mortgages and trying to educate their children.

Air Fiji's financial troubles came to light after its planes were grounded twice late last year following which it was revealed that Air Fiji was alleged to have incurred around $750,000 in fuel bills which was disputed by the company and the matter is still pending in the High Court.
