Fiji Airways is suspending its direct route between Nadi and DFW International Airport later this year, as the carrier makes tweaks to its network amid rising fuel costs and “evolving market conditions,” it said Tuesday.

The suspension is effective Sept. 7. The route, which was added in 2024, was Fiji Airways’ only nonstop route at DFW Airport, according to data from Diio by Cirium. Airlines have been grappling with soaring fuel costs since the beginning of the Iran War. Fiji Airways joins a growing list of global carriers adjusting networks during the current operating environment.

No doubt Iran was the tipping point, but from what I saw, these flights weren’t busy.

The geography is tough. DFW to NAN is a 13 hour flight; add an extra three hours and you’ve made it to Sydney. Those are similar enough destinations to the everyday American traveler.

Compare that to their West Coast flights, which run about 10 hours (though, frustratingly, only operate on a red eye schedule).
