Qantas, Emirates launch joint NZ network
Emirates and Qantas have further linked their joint network by opening bookings for a new schedule between New Zealand and Australia.
Qantas has retimed its existing Christchurch-Sydney service enabling more international connections from Sydney and will launch a new twice-weekly seasonal Perth – Auckland service, starting December 6 and running through to February 1.
Air New Zealand recently upgraded its daily service to Perth with Boeing 777-200ERs which feature flatbeds for business class plus premium economy.
Air New Zealand is to introduce a new twice-weekly Perth-Christchurch service from December 3 through to April 26.
Emirates will continue to operate 28 flights a week to New Zealand, with daily flights to Auckland from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; and the daily flight between Sydney and Christchurch.
From October 1, all Emirates flights to Auckland will be operated by an Airbus A380.
