Fiji's national carrier, Air Pacific is continuing with plans to launch a second direct flight between Suva and Auckland.
The move follows the airline's re-launch of a weekly Friday service between the two cities, at the start of last month.
The additional weekly flight begins today.
The Managing Director of Air Pacific, Dave Pflieger says the airline hopes to offer better services in preparation for next year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
He says Fiji will be an inexpensive place for inbound and outbound tourists visiting New Zealand during the Cup.
