An air service agreement has been made regarding Fiji Airways flights to and from the Tongan island group of Vavau. Tongas Deputy Prime Minister, Samiu Vaipulu, told Television Tonga that the government will start organising its flights from Suva and Nadi to Vavau, and vice versa. He says once the flight route is confirmed, the new travel arrangements will help boost the tourism sector, with more tourists able to visit Vavau. 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. He adds that Fiji Airways has also asked the government to reduce the airport costs imposed when landing in Vavau, but this will be a decision handled by Tonga Airports Limited. The CEO of Tonga Airports Limited, Viliami Maake, told Television Tonga the company has discussed the prospect, but an official request has not yet been recieved. radionz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/239504/fiji-airways-to-start-flying-to-tongas-vavau
