Cargo Advantages from China

Why Chinese exporters choose Fiji Airways Cargo for South Pacific and global cargo.

For Chinese manufacturers, traders and e-commerce businesses, Fiji Airways Cargo offers a uniquely positioned, reliable air freight solution with three distinct advantages.

South Pacific gateway with strategic hub connectivity. Nadi International Airport is the premier air cargo gateway for the South Pacific, handling over 80,000 tonnes of cargo annually. Fiji Airways connects Chinese cargo to 15 countries and 69 cities across Oceania, Asia and North America. With direct flights from Hong Kong and extensive interline agreements, the airline provides seamless connectivity from mainland China's major manufacturing hubs to the Pacific region — a market where direct shipping options are limited and air freight is often the only practical choice for time-sensitive goods.

Dedicated freighter and substantial belly-hold capacity. Fiji Airways operates a converted ATR 72-600 freighter (up to 8 tonnes) for Pacific Island cargo, while its A330 and A350 passenger aircraft offer approximately 30 tonnes of belly-hold cargo capacity per long-haul flight. This dual-capacity model ensures Chinese shippers have flexible options for both large-volume intercontinental shipments and regional Pacific distribution. In 2023, Fiji Airways planes carried over 29,000 tonnes of cargo into and out of Fiji.

Specialised cargo expertise and Oneworld network. Fiji Airways is an Oneworld alliance member since 2024, providing access to a global interline network and enhanced cargo connectivity. The airline handles shipments from Asia, Australia, New Zealand, North America and the Pacific Islands, with a particular focus on perishable and agricultural exports. Fiji's largest agricultural airfreight export is turmeric to North America, totalling 100 tonnes per week — a testament to the airline's capability in handling high-value, time-sensitive cargo. The airline also supports the transport of medical supplies, coffee, mail and packages.

On cost and reliability, routing via Hong Kong offers competitive transit times and rates compared to all-the-way long-haul products, while Fiji Airways' Oneworld membership provides access to an even broader global network. Goodhope Freight consolidates and negotiates on the China side, so exporters benefit from consolidated rates, predictable departures and local Chinese-language support. For Chinese exporters of consumer goods, electronics, machinery, pharmaceuticals and perishables, Fiji Airways Cargo provides a dependable route into the South Pacific and beyond.

Hub, Network & Special Cargo Capabilities

How Fiji Airways Cargo's Nadi hub and specialised services create value for freight from China.

Fiji Airways Cargo is built around a single, strategically positioned hub: Nadi International Airport (NAN), with a secondary hub at Suva Nausori International Airport (SUV). From there, the airline operates a modern fleet serving 15 countries and 69 cities, with code-share agreements extending to 108 international destinations. The airline is a Oneworld member since 2024, providing access to an extensive global interline network.

Dedicated freighter operations for Pacific connectivity. Fiji Link, the airline's regional subsidiary, operates a converted ATR 72-600 freighter capable of carrying up to 8 tonnes of cargo. This aircraft provides dedicated cargo services to Pacific Island destinations including Port Vila (Vanuatu) and Nuku'alofa (Tonga), carrying medical supplies, coffee, mail and packages. The airline has also announced a Letter of Intent with Odys Aviation for up to 25 hybrid-electric VTOL cargo aircraft ("Laila") to connect all of Fiji's 330 islands.

Specialised cargo handling and perishable expertise. Nadi International Airport handles over 80,000 tonnes of cargo annually, with Fiji Airways Cargo playing a central role in Fiji's trade and commerce. The airline is renowned for its expertise in handling perishable and agricultural cargo — Fiji's largest airfreight export is turmeric to North America, totalling 100 tonnes per week. The airline also handles fresh produce, seafood and tropical fruits, leveraging its modern fleet and temperature-controlled logistics capabilities to ensure product freshness upon arrival.

Expanding cargo network through interline partnerships. Fiji Airways has established cargo interline agreements with multiple airlines to expand its reach. Through its partnership with Hong Kong Airlines, Fiji Airways connects to Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Guilin, Haikou, Sanya and Nanning. The airline also provides cargo feeds from 34 of its flights and links to 47 new international flights through these partnerships.

Future growth and sustainability. Fiji Airways has placed orders for additional aircraft and is exploring sustainable aviation solutions including hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for inter-island cargo. With a modern fleet, a comprehensive cargo service through its dedicated freighter and belly-hold capacity, and a growing network of interline partnerships, Fiji Airways Cargo is a reliable partner for Chinese exporters targeting the South Pacific and beyond.
