Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia (Pacific Blue) have announced their new joint trans-tasman network.
Some key points
- WLG-BNE Pacific Blue to operate a double daily return
- CHC-BNE combined double daily return service
- ZQN-SYD 1 flight five days a week in peak periods
- WLG-SYD Air New Zealand to operate a double daily return service
- Air New Zealand to take over all flying AKL-CNS
- Pacific Blue to take over all SYD/MEL-DUD peak period services
The biggest winner out of this seems to be Wellington who are now guaranteed a double daily service to both Brisbane and Sydney although Melbourne still isnt served daily. Christchurch gets a double daily return to all 3 major Australian capitals, while Air New Zealand will also increase flights to Adelaide and Perth from Auckland.
