Reduction in pricing of standard airfares
In addition to the $50 standby airfares, Air New Zealand is adjusting the pricing of its domestic Christchurch airfares, ensuring that Smart Saver airfares are available on all direct flights to and from Christchurch for travel through to midnight Sunday 6 March.
For example fares on all flights Christchurch – Auckland will be available for between $69 – $149, and Christchurch – Wellington for between $59 – $129.
The compassionate international fares will continue to be available.
Air New Zealand has also been offering ticketing flexibility since Tuesday on all fare types for those due to travel to and from Christchurch, who had booked prior to Tuesday 22 February.
Full details are available on the airline’s website.
Air New Zealand strongly encourages customers who have bookings on flights to and from Christchurch which they no longer require to cancel their bookings so that other customers can make use of the seats.
Air New Zealand would like to acknowledge support of its partners in the aviation community including BP, Caltex, Greenstone and ExxonMobil who have been providing discounted fuel for the humanitarian flights and also Aviation Security, Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland and Queenstown airports who are waiving some of their airport-related fees.
