An air service agreement has been made allowing Fiji Airways flights between Fiji and the northern Tongan island group of Vava’u.
Tonga’s Deputy Prime Minister, Samiu Vaipulu, told Television Tonga that the new travel arrangements will help boost the tourism sector, with more tourists able to visit Vava’u.
Fiji Airways already flies to the Tongan capital Nuku’alofa on the southern island of Tongatapu.Mr Vaipulu says Fiji Airways also hopes to provide domestic flights for the kingdom, but this will first be discussed with the local airline Real Tonga. Limited.
