Stefan Pichler became the airline's CEO in mid-2013, and was also appointed Chairman of Tourism Fiji, but last year announced he was departing to take the same job at Air Berlin.

Mr Pichler, who was farewelled at Nadi International Airport with a traditional ceremony, praised the airline's staff for the financial success.
