Air Pacific was the national airline of Fiji from 1972 until its rebranding as Fiji Airways in 2013, serving as a vital link between the Pacific islands and international destinations like Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Originally established to unify regional air services, it grew into a respected carrier known for its warm Fijian hospitality and strategic partnerships, including with Qantas. Operating a fleet that included Boeing and Airbus aircraft, Air Pacific played a key role in promoting tourism and connectivity across Oceania. The name change to Fiji Airways marked a return to its roots and a renewed focus on showcasing Fijian culture and identity to the world.
