More Flight options to NZ

SINGAPORE Airlines and Air
New Zealand will enter into a
codeshare on January 6, with
flights already on sale for
services between Singapore
and New Zealand on both
airlines.
Alvin Seah, gm for Central
and Southern Africa at
Singapore Airlines, said both
carriers would operate one
return service each per day
on the Singapore-Auckland
route and Singapore Airlines
would operate a daily return
service between Singapore
and Christchurch.
The alliance will also
give Singapore Airlines
codeshare connectivity to a
further 40 destinations in
Air New Zealand’s network.
In turn, Air New Zealand
will codeshare to a further
50 destinations on the
Singapore Airlines and SilkAir
network.
Alvin said: “Through
increased frequency
between Singapore and New
Zealand and new codeshare
destinations, it provides
numerous benefits to our
customers.”
Air New Zealand ceo,
Christopher Luxon said:
“Our alliance with Singapore
Airlines going on sale is an
exciting milestone in our
growth strategy. We are
looking forward to operating
to Singapore for the first
time in eight years, with this
alliance allowing us to further
expand our long-haul network
and open up a wide range of
new codeshare destinations
for our customers.”
