Air New Zealand to fly daily to Canada

Air New Zealand has announced it is to relaunch daily flights to Canada. The national carrier says it is ramping up its service to Vancouver from its current schedule of three times a week due to an increase in demand. The daily flights will start from December 9, with the airline using its fleet of Boeing 787-9s. Pre-Covid, Air New Zealand ran the daily service. It comes as Air New Zealand gets ready to launch its flagship service to New York this week. It has announced a joint campaign with Tourism New Zealand to target the North American market, with special offers on flights to Auckland in the low and shoulder seasons, as well as add-ons to domestic destinations. Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty said the US and Canadian markets are “incredibly important”. “We’ve been flying to the US for more than 50 years ... It’s fantastic to see that over the next few months and leading into Christmas, flight loads are performing really well and by summer (in New Zealand), seat capacity will be back to around 85% of pre-Covid levels,” said Geraghty.<br/>
