Air Pacific ‘will not fail’ as restructuring continues; ownership questions remain

Air Pacific, Fiji’s national carrier, stated that despite recent challenges and a number of restructuring changes, it aims to return to profitability and maintain operations. High fuel prices and increasing competition from LCCs, including Virgin Australia and Jetstar, has hurt Air Pacific, with the airline reporting its largest full-year loss last year at FJD90 million (USD51 million).
