In a historic first, the coveted NRL Provan-Summons Trophy is in Fiji, on display at the Fiji Airways Premium Lounge at the Nadi International Airport.
The national airline in conjunction with the NRL agreed to the trophy, being displayed for guests visiting the Lounge, enroute to the United States for the NRL Vegas Round.
Fiji Airways Managing Director and Chief Executive Andre Viljoen said this is part of the airline’s efforts to bring the NRL closer to the people of Fiji.
“The Provan-Summons Trophy has never been outside of Australia and it’s quite historic that on its first international voyage, Fiji Airways is able to have this piece of NRL history on display. It is quite an honour for the national airline.”
“We share this milestone with all Fijians who are also avid fans of the NRL.”
The Trophy will be on display at the Lounge for two weeks before making its way to the NRL Vegas Round in the United States.
“We are even prouder of the fact that Fiji Airways carried the prestigious Trophy from Sydney Australia, and will transport it to Los Angeles from where it will make its journey to Las Vegas,” Viljoen added.
Fiji Airways is the official partner for the 2024 NRL Vegas Round, a doubleheader at Allegiant Stadium with the Sea Eagles taking on the Rabbitohs, and the Roosters going head-to-head with the Broncos.
