Air New Zealand boosts services from Auckland to Shanghai and Hong Kong
Air New Zealand will increase services from Auckland to Shanghai and Hong Kong following strong demand for the airline’s new services.
From 31 October 2007, Air New Zealand will introduce double daily services between Hong Kong and Auckland on Fridays and Sundays between 30 November 2007 to 2 March 2008.
The airline will also operate two additional services per week between Auckland and Shanghai, increasing its weekly operations from three to five services per week.
“As we had anticipated, demand for these services is now comfortably strong enough to justify these new services,” said Air New Zealand Group General Manager, International Airline Ed Sims.
“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. Our ability to offer the quickest and most direct route to New Zealand and Australia via North Asia has also brought strong growth from our cargo business which we will continue to nurture over the coming years,” said Mr. Sims.
