Air New Zealand Reviews
Air New Zealand Limited is the national airline and flag carrier of New Zealand. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, the airline operates scheduled passenger flights to 27 domestic and 29 international destinations in 15 countries across Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania
It was the last airline to circumnavigate the world because of its flagship NZ1/2 (Heathrow – Los Angeles – Auckland) and NZ35/38 (Auckland – Hong Kong – Heathrow) flights, which ended on March 2013 when Air New Zealand stopped Hong Kong – London flights, in favour of a code sharing deal with Cathay Pacific. Air New Zealand is a member of the Star Alliance global airline alliance, having joined in 1999. Air New Zealand’s route network focuses on Australasia and the South Pacific, with long-haul services to Asia, Europe and North America. The airline’s main hub is Auckland Airport, located near Mangere in the southern part of the Auckland urban area. Air New Zealand is headquartered in a building called “The Hub”, located 20 km (12 mi) away from Auckland Airport, in the Western Reclamation, in central Auckland. Air New Zealand currently operates an international long-haul fleet consisting of mainly the Boeing 777 variant family, with five Boeing 767 and two Boeing 747-400s supplementing them. Airbus A320 aircraft are operated on regional international routes. The carrier also utilises a fleet of Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 airliners for short-haul domestic operations. Air New Zealand’s regional subsidiaries, Air Nelson, Eagle Airways, and Mount Cook Airline, operate additional short-haul New Zealand domestic services using turboprop aircraft.
Air New Zealand was awarded Airline of the Year in 2010 and 2012 by the Air Transport World Global Airline Awards.
