Air NZ downgrades Beijing for Shanghai
Air New Zealand plans to operate daily services to China within the coming 12 months.
Following a review of current services into China, Air NZ believes its expansion will best be achieved by consolidating services into Shanghai and serving Beijing as a one-stop destination in conjunction with Star Alliance code-share partner Air China.
The airline will add a fifth weekly service to Shanghai from July 4 as it focuses it efforts on continuing to build a gateway between New Zealand and China.
Air New Zealand will suspend the twice-weekly direct Auckland – Beijing service from June 30 as it concentrates on growing the Shanghai service.
