Inside the invite-only launch of a new A350

[@Levi.Collier]

The Fiji Airways livery looks so good!

[@StefanDrury]

Yeah it's a nice simple but good looking livery hey?

[@SenZubEanS]

I guess when you're a smaller carrier, there is more fanfare for any new arrival. Good to see them expanding their A350 fleet.

[@MattNav]

Awesome job Stefan and lovely to see Fiji Airways receive their 3rd A350 👍🏻😎

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks Matt, it was great to be there. Thanks for watching.

[@spiro5327]

Hey Stef really enjoyed watching this. Thanks mate.

[@VL3861]

A350 is quite an amazing aircraft, great video stef!

[@MonkeBacon]

Awesome video! Love to see the big planes go to smaller countries! You just gained a subscriber!

[@Pigeon_journey]

Love it, The A350 looks so good in the Fiji livery! Love your videos, cant wait for the next one!!!

[@shaneballingall]

Was great to meet you at the airshow today Stef, the kids were so excited after getting to meet you!

[@StefanDrury]

Was great meeting you and your family as well Shane, thanks for saying hello.

[@andrewl3655]

I don't remember us seeing Stef's calves before on KZbin - clearly a lot of miles of running have gone into those calves! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Fiji, Stef.

[@flysport_tedder]

thanks for bringing us along! kinda cool for GA avgeeks to see this. 5:02 lol, cute powerup segment. 5:45 "I'm pushing my luck"

[@johammond400]

Fiji look like a great carrier, I would love to go to Fiji, and when I do, I’ll definitely try to fly with them. The A350 is a stunning aircraft and theirs looks fantastic with really friendly crew.

[@markhallowell4059]

Awesome Steph. I go to Fiji a bit for work. Flown on another of their A350 from Sydney, but being a Melbournite have mostly been on the 737 max service, which has been packed each way this year. Will be so good to get an A350 flight to and from Melbourne.

[@jezkemp712]

Stef thanks for the video, as always very enjoyable! I know what old plane smell smells like but not new plane smell, I can only imagine!

[@stevenbuntingfan]

Some good stuff as always steff!

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks for watching Harry, glad you enjoyed it

[@Law19157]

Service wasn't great from SFO to Nadi. Crew couldn't be bothered to bring water or show up when called. They're the cheapest ticket to Fiji that's why they have 70% market share, as the saying goes "you get what you pay for".

[@Hukahey]

Andrea sounded very NZ but looks like a fun trip Stef. Thought they would have taken everyone for a circuit ! Guess they will still be flying the 737 from Melb as well so must make sure I try the A350 particularly if they have some sale fares with that extra capacity.

[@joshuastewart9604]

Andrea Viljoen is from South Africa.

[@Hukahey]

@@joshuastewart9604 thanks ha ha getting my accents wrong.

[@GamesandGopros]

Hey Stef, are you going to the Pacific Airshow this weekend?

[@arielfrancisleathem3280]

The concept of fiji airways now producing revenue nearing on $1.3b AUD is crazy to mee. Hats off to them.

[@timk4056]

Thank you!❤

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks for watching

[@simonchallenor1006]

in Fijian Q is pronounced ngg so Beqa is pronounced Ben-gar

[@oscargalvez8803]

I hope they start service to Houston IAH 😫

[@matthewjames8407]

Not a new aircraft. Was first delivered to Hong Kong Airlines in 2019. Has sat in Tolouse France for most part of its life.

[@narf571]
