Fiji Airways is withdrawing from Canberra and will stop its air connections entirely. The decision by the airline represents a major blow for Canberra Airport.

Alongside the departure of Fiji Airways, Canberra Airport has taken a major step towards setting up new routes to China. News outlets including The Canberra Times, Region Canberra, and Karryon outlined the latest airline adjustments on 26 August 2026. Fiji Airways will cease its flight schedule, while Canberra Airport moves forward with plans for the China flight routes.
