Air New Zealand is increasing its international capacity to China and Japan for its upcoming northern winter schedule.
International capacity growth for the period November 2011 – March 2012 on the airline’s China routes will be up by 21.6 percent, with increased frequency to Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai.
Capacity on the Auckland – Beijing route will see a third year-round Boeing 777-200 service from early December.
The airline’s Auckland – Shanghai route will have a capacity increase of 22.7 percent, with the addition of a fourth Boeing 777-200 service operating between December and March.
Strong demand for the overnight service from Auckland to Hong Kong will see increased capacity with a Boeing 777-200 operating daily services from November to mid-December, increasing to nine services per week from mid-December.
Air New Zealand is continuing with its plans to introduce a Boeing 747-400 on its Japan routes between December and February, increasing Auckland – Tokyo capacity by 16 percent.
The airline will also restore Auckland-Osaka capacity that was reduced earlier this year.
