Fiji Airways was formed in 1947 by Harold Gatty as Katafaga Estates.On 31Jul1951, Gatty renamed the carrier to Fiji Airways after starting regular services on 01Sep1951. After Fiji gained independence from Great Britain in 1970, the new national government began buying shares and the airline was renamed Air Pacific to reflect its regional presence. The government of Fiji acquired a controlling interest in Air Pacific in 1974. Air Pacific acquired Sun Air, a domestic airline, in 2007. This formed the basis for Pacific Sun, Air Pacific’s domestic and regional subsidiary (In Jun2014, Pacific Sun was rebranded to Fiji Link in Jun2014). In May2012, MD/CEO David Pflieger announced that the airline would be returning to its former name of Fiji Airways to reinforce its role as the national airline of Fiji. This happened in 2013
