Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines join forces to expand New Zealand-Singapore services

1/17/2014 8:57:25 AM

Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines have agreed to form an alliance enabling Air New Zealand to fly the Auckland-Singapore route again and Singapore Airlines to operate the Airbus A380 to New Zealand for the first time.    The A380 would be operated daily by Singapore Airlines between Singapore and Auckland, progressively replacing an existing daily service with the smaller Boeing 777-300ER. Air New Zealand would launch daily services between Auckland and Singapore using newly refitted Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, taking over five flights currently operated by Singapore Airlines and adding two more weekly flights, increasing the frequency to daily.    Subject to regulatory approvals, the carriers would aim to boost their existing capacity between New Zealand and Singapore by up to 30% year round over time.    Singapore Airlines’ daily Singapore-Christchurch service would continue as part of the alliance.  Air Transport News
