It was to allow for designated airlines from both countries to operate three passenger or cargo flights per week between Fiji and Japan, increasing to four flights per week beginning in late 2019.
The Fiji Broadcasting Corporation, FBC, reported the arrangements also provided for designated carriers to code-share.
It also aimed to bring safety and security provisions more in line with international aviation industry standards.
