Cheaper flights as seats double
Air New Zealand has doubled its capacity for flights to and from Rotorua and Auckland, and is promising cheaper fares for travellers. In February last year Air New Zealand started moving from using all 19-seat Beechcraft aircraft between Rotorua and Auckland to a mix of Beechcraft and the larger 50-seat Bombardier Q300 aircraft. From Tuesday, the route will move to all scheduled 50-seat services - offering 2000 seats a week, which is double the capacity on the route when the airline operated Beechcraft only flights. According to an Air New Zealand spokesperson the last scheduled Beechcraft 19-seater service on the route flew out yesterday afternoon. "By operating larger aircraft on the route we have been able to reduce average fares by 15 per cent over the past year," the spokesperson said.<br/>
