American Airlines suspends flying to NZ for 2 months, puts on bigger Dreamliner
American Airlines will drop its Auckland-Los Angeles service for 8 weeks later this year. It will drop flights between Aug 7 and Oct 6. "This 8-week suspension is in line with the airline's peak season in North America,'' it said. American began flying the route to Auckland last June around the time competitor United Airlines did. United has also dropped its daily service between Auckland and San Francisco from April 18 to Oct 30. The temporary withdrawal of flights will dent the travel market which had seen double-digit growth between the two countries in the past year. Intense competition between the US carriers and Air NZ had driven down fares. While American is dropping out for two months, it will return with a bigger aircraft, a Boeing 787-9 which will include a premium economy cabin, and new business class suites. <br/>
