Sichuan Airlines joins the surge in Chinese carriers heading for New Zealand
Sichuan Airlines will begin 3 direct flights per week between Auckland and Chengdu in southwest China from June. The airline will use an A330-200 aircraft, with business and economy class configuration and operate initially Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It is the latest regional Chinese carrier to enter the New Zealand market following the arrival of Tainjin and Hainan airlines during summer. The flight will only take 13 hours flying directly from New Zealand to the Southwest part of China. JC Zhi, Sichuan Airlines' New Zealand GM said the airline was delighted to announce the new service. "We have great confidence in the New Zealand market and this news clearly demonstrates our ongoing commitment as we open further gateways and services to China." <br/>
