Joint Venture partners Air New Zealand & Singapore Airlines have made it even easier to travel to Europe, India & South East Asia as they boost capacity between Auckland & Singapore in 2020.
The news comes after tourism figures revealed that tourism from New Zealand to Singapore increased by 12 percent in the last year. And demand continues growing.
The dream team will increase services by an additional 35,000 seats between the end of March and October. So, grab your jandals and pack your bags because bright lights and delicious noodles dishes are calling.
What’s changing?
Air New Zealand will increase its frequency from 12 to 14 services per week on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft from 29 March 2020 to 24 October 2020, bringing the total number of services the two alliance partners operate to 21 per week.
Singapore Airlines will also deploy its larger A380 aircraft to meet strong demand over the Easter 2020 peak, replacing its scheduled Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
“These increases will allow customers the option of three daily, year-round flights between Auckland and Singapore, giving customers more options to travel point to point, as well as onwards to a range of destinations via Singapore.”
Mr Tan Kai Ping, Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President Marketing Planning
The announcement follows recent capacity increases on the Christchurch – Singapore and Wellington – Singapore routes announced in the last six months, which are also part of the Joint Venture agreement between the two airlines.
