Fiji Airways is now a proud member of oneworld - welcome aboard. 🥂 It’s the smallest member of the oneworld alliance, as the airline has just 14 jet aircraft - with the fleet comprising of Airbus A350s, A330s and Boeing 737s. ✈️ #Aviation #AvGeek

Fiji Airways fact sheet.

Fiji Airways, formerly Air Pacific, is the flag carrier of Fiji. It operates international services from its hubs in Fiji to 27 destinations, and has an extended network of 108 international destinations through its codeshare partners, including Qantas, who also own a stake in the airline.

Qatar Airways is aiming for a ribbon-cutting by the end of this year on it's new at lounge at BKK's satellite terminal. This means that if your flight doesn't depart from the satellite terminal, you won't be able to use the lounge if flying a premium cabin on other oneworld carriers. ✈️ #PaxEx

Qatar Airway's current Premium Lounge at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport.

When that happens, Qatar Airways is expected to shutter its lounge in the main terminal – removing another premium lounge option for business & first class passengers on oneworld member airlines.

While the two terminals are connected by a zippy 'automated people mover', only passengers departing on flights from the satellite terminal are allowed to board the inter-terminal train.

Just did an overnight Qatar Airways flight onboard one of these planes. They still have the Virgin Australia cabin instead. We may well see them dedicating these planes to the ‘VA operated by QR flights’ if the QR deal to invest in VA is approved.

Short answer... yes. This is part of the Changi East project. T5 will be linked to the other terminals at Changi Airport, allowing the expanded airport to be operated as a single, integrated airport for ease of transfer between different terminals with airfield operational efficiency.
