airberlin and Virgin Australia have extended their current codeshare agreement to include 10 new routes between Australia with New Zealand.
The carrier’s flight numbers will now feature on services from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to Christchurch and to Auckland; services from Brisbane to the New Zealand capital, Wellington and to Dunedin; and services from Sydney and Brisbane to Queenstown.
According to the carrier’s Chief Executive, Stefan Pichler, the codeshare extension makes it easier for guests to travel from Europe and into the Land of the Long White Cloud.
“New Zealand is a great destination and our extended relationship with Virgin Australia brings this fascinating country even closer.”

Virgin Australia services between Australia and New Zealand are operated by Boeing 737 aircraft and offer business class, which features luxurious leather seats and gourmet food created by renowned Australian chef Luke Mangan.
airberlin in September placed its flight numbers on services from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to the Australian capital of Canberra and Hobart on the island state of Tasmania, from Sydney and Melbourne to Tasmania’s second largest city, Launceston, from Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to Darwin, and from Perth to Adelaide.
Virgin Australia also expanded its network in Europe by placing its VA flight numbers on airberlin services from Berlin to Cologne, Stockholm and Helsinki, as well as from Dusseldorf to Hamburg.
