Air NZ steps up activity in Japan

Friday, 06 Mar, 2014 0

Air New Zealand is boosting capacity on its Japan services from November.

General manager Japan Scott Carr says an overwhelming response to the airline’s recent campaign with Tourism New Zealand has further strengthened confidence in the Japan market.

Air New Zealand will add around 30% extra capacity to the Japan route between mid-November this year and the end of March 2015.

This will also see the airline operate a year-round daily direct service between Japan and New Zealand for the first time since 2007.

There will be ten weekly services to Tokyo. Daily direct services will operate between Narita and Auckland, with three services per week operating via Christchurch.

Japan is New Zealand’s fifth-largest tourism market with nearly 75,000 visitors in the year to January.
