Qatar Airways coming to NZ - report
Qatar Airways has plans to fly to New Zealand. The airline has eyed this market before and Bloomberg reports its CE Akbar Al Baker as saying flights to Auckland were part of new expansion plans. Al Baker said last week that it would use long-range Boeing 777 aircraft to fly to this country and to Chile. The New Zealand govt said then the opportunity now existed for the airline to serve New Zealand and "this would be a welcome development." In 2013, when those negotiations began, it was revealed the airline had approached Auckland Airport about flights to this country. Qatar services would be the latest in a growing list of new flights announced during the past 6 months. AirAsia X is resuming flights to New Zealand in March, Sichuan Airlines is eyeing flights here and American Airlines and United Airlines will return to New Zealand with flights across the Pacific later this year.<br/>
