7s Star Tuwai is Fiji Airways Brand Ambassador
Fiji Airways and its subsidiary, Fiji Link are proud to announce an exciting new addition to its portfolio of brand ambassadors. Olympic gold medallist and Vodafone Fijian 7s halfback, Seremaia Tuwai, is officially joining the Fiji Airways family. “I’m excited and very honoured to be part of our national airline,” Tuwai said. “This opportunity allows me to connect with Fijians and fan everywhere, particularly where Fiji Airways and Fiji Link fly to”.
“It’s been an exciting journey to date as I was part of the Fiji Link birthday celebrations in Labasa in June with fellow brand ambassador Roy Krishna. It was a lot of fun meeting the fans up in the north, and I look forward to more of this with Fiji Airways and Fiji Link,” Tuwai added.
“One of the best experiences of being a rugby player is travelling and particularly on the return journey I am always looking out for Fiji Airways at the airport. As soon as I see the aircraft and meet the crew, I know I’m home.”
Fiji Airways managing director & CEO Andre Viljoen said: “We’re very delighted to add yet another extremely popular Fijian to our pool of Ambassadors.
Our brand is all about being uniquely Fijian, and we hope having someone like Seremaia will inspire more Fijians in Fiji and around the world to connect with our brand whether it’s through travel, rugby, events or social media.”
As part of the Fiji Airways Ambassadorship, Tuwai will appear in Fiji Airways and Fiji Link marketing, public relations and social media campaigns.
