Post Fiji outlets across the country have begun selling Pacific Blue flights to and from Fiji from today giving locals easier access to the airline’s fares.
Low cost carrier, Pacific Blue launched flights to Fiji in September 2004 and until now the only method of purchasing flights was via the Internet using a credit card or from GSA (Air Fiji) travel agents or Pacific Blue team members at the airport.
The new arrangement means locals will now be able to visit Post Fiji and book and pay for their Pacific Blue flights to Australia with the option of using cash notes and coins or a credit card.
Post Fiji says that in Fiji currently, only 10 per cent of business is by credit cards while 90 per cent is cash.
Pacific Blue says feedback from customers were that many were disadvantaged as they didn’t have a credit card or a computer.
Pacific Blue’s chief executive Brett Godfrey says that due to low Internet and credit card usage in Fiji, they were confident that their new relationship with Post Fiji will allow locals to take advantage of the affordable fares the airline has to offer.
The airline says that since its entry, the number of people traveling between Fiji and Australia and vice versa has grown by 142,000 passengers, marking an increase of 36 per cent.
Launching the Post Fiji/Pacific Blue Partnership, Finance Minister Mahendra Chaudhry described the arrangement as resourceful and creative business techniques.
Post Fiji introduced airline ticketing as a part of its diversification when it undertook ticketing for Air Fiji in 2005.
