“Working closely again with our, we aim to provide customers with a sustainable, seamless travel experience.”
Seasonal daily service from LAX will operate until March 3 on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
American also offers codeshare service between Auckland and LAX operated by oneworld alliance partner Qantas.
