Fiji Airways is enhancing its inflight experience through a new initiative called “Meet the Makers,” which showcases the creativity of local artisans. The first highlight of this campaign is Sigavou Studios, a family-operated art studio managed by Maria Rova. Known for their vibrant designs, the studio’s artwork will be featured on Fiji Airways’ onboard paper cups.
Sigavou Studios has earned acclaim for its contemporary interpretations of traditional Fijian art, drawing inspiration from the island’s rich culture and breathtaking natural landscapes. Maria Rova has expressed her excitement about this collaboration, stating, “To see our work flying across the world is beyond what we ever imagined. Each cup is a symbol of our love for Fiji and our passion for sharing its beauty.”
Fiji Airways Chief Customer Officer, Akuila Batiweti, highlighted the airline’s dedication to promoting local talent, noting, “Every detail onboard carries a story. Collaborating with Sigavou Studios brings our guests a genuine sense of place and connection.” This initiative is part of Fiji Airways’ broader commitment to enhance the travel experience for passengers while celebrating the unique artistry that Fiji has to offer.
Through the “Meet the Makers” campaign, Fiji Airways not only honors the rich cultural heritage of the region but also ensures that travelers can engage with the spirit of Fiji, making their journey even more memorable. This partnership serves as a testament to the airline’s mission of delivering an authentically Fijian experience to its guests.
