Air NZ to up capacity between Auckland and Oz
An NZPA report says that Air New Zealand is to increase by the end of the year the number of seats available for flights from Auckland to Melbourne and Sydney.
The airline said that part of the additional capacity to Melbourne would come from a change of aircraft on some services.
From October 26, a 235-passenger Boeing 767-300 aircraft would be used instead of a 152-passenger Airbus A320 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday afternoons.
From December 16 a third daily service, using a Boeing 767-300, would operate from Auckland on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Total capacity between Auckland and Melbourne would increase by 6 per cent, Air NZ said.
Services from Auckland to Sydney would increase from December 15 with an additional A320 return service operating on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
