Air Pacific (FJ, Nadi International (NAN)) Chief Executive Officer Dave Pflieger has confirmed that the brand transition to the carrier's new Fiji Airways (FJ, Nadi International (NAN)) name will take place in June when the first two A330-200s will have been delivered to Fiji's national carrier in the new Fiji Airways colors. Fiji Airways will eventually operate a fleet of one B737-700, three B737-800s and three A330-200s with the first B747-400 to be retired by June and the second by December after the arrival of a third A330-200. Air Pacific will initially use the Fiji Airways branded A330-200s on routes from Nadi to Auckland International (AKL) and Brisbane International (BNE) from mid-April.

Air Pacific (FJ, Nadi International (NAN)) plans to rebrand as Fiji Airways (FJ, Nadi International (NAN)) by 2013 to better reflect its origin with further details to be made available to the public in July. It had previously operated under this name between 1951 and 1971 before being reorganized with the help of Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingsford Smith (SYD)) and being rebranded back then.
