Air Pacific bookings drop 6%
Tuesday August 21, 2007
Fiji's international carrier Air Pacific recorded a drop in passenger bookings of 6 per cent in the first six months of this year compared to the same period in 2006.
But the airline says this figure is not an accurate reflection of the real drop in business.
Radio New Zealand reports that its managing director, John Campbell, says the 6 per cent drop has to be seen against the growth forecast made by the airline for this year.
He says in this context the real drop in passenger numbers is close to 15 per cent.
Campbell says this is the impact the political events of December last year and their ongoing effect on the tourism inflows into Fiji.
