Remember when the Straits of Hormuz were open? Of course, you do not, because it was not something the average person concerned himself with. Now, everyone is a geopolitical expert on Iran. And now, the average person is starting to feel the effects of our Buffoon in Chief’s war.
My comeuppance for moving to Puerto Rico in 2018 (see Despacito! TPOL Is Moving to Puerto Rico! Effective Inmediatamente) instead of running for Senator came by way of email yesterday:
Bula from Fiji Airways,
We are contacting you to advise of an important update to your upcoming booking with Fiji Airways.
Due to ongoing developments in the Middle East and the associated operational impacts, including fuel cost challenges, we have taken the difficult decision to suspend our Nadi- Dallas services effective September 7th. As a result, the flight on which you are currently booked will no longer operate.
All other things aside, on the DFW route, for all of 2025, Fiji Airways only ran a 63.2% load factor. There were individual months with loads under the 40% mark (average for whole month). So, to be fair and all else aside, it was kinda crappy anyway.
