Air New Zealand and Cathay Pacific have agreed to extend their joint venture for another five years.
Since beginning their partnership in 2013, the airlines have operated up to three daily round trips between New Zealand and Hong Kong, enhancing connectivity with Asia and beyond through Hong Kong.
Michael Williams, Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer at Air New Zealand, welcomed the reauthorization of the alliance, stating, “This reapproval of our alliance is particularly important as both markets continue their recovery from the pandemic, allowing us to continue offering better connectivity and more travel options for our customers.”
The winter schedule includes four weekly seasonal round trips on the Christchurch to Hong Kong route, and combined with the Hong Kong to Auckland service, results in 18 weekly round trips across two routes.
