Air New Zealand expands Asia routes
Air New Zealand will increase services from Auckland to Shanghai and Hong Kong following strong demand for the airline’s new services.
The airline will introduce double daily services between Hong Kong and Auckland on Fridays and Sundays between November 30 to March 2, 2008.
Two additional services per week between Auckland and Shanghai will be added, increasing its weekly operations from three to five services a week.
“As we had anticipated, demand for these services is now comfortably strong enough to justify these new services,” said Ed Sims, group general manager, international.
“Our new daily service to and from London Heathrow via Hong Kong has stimulated new business on the Hong Kong to Auckland leg, to the point that we’re now able to add two more services over the peak season,” he said.
“These new services reflect the focus we continue to place on developing inbound and outbound tourism opportunities.”
