About Air New Zealand

Founded in 1940 as Tasman Empire Airways Limited, Air New Zealand is New Zealand's national airline. Air New Zealand directly serves 47 cities in 15 countries, including over 470 flights per day to 26 destinations within New Zealand.^[1] In March 1999 Air New Zealand became a full member of the Star Alliance group. The Star Alliance, which includes Air Canada, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian Airlines, bmi, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, SAS, South African Airways, Spanair, SWISS, TAP Portugal, Thai Airways, United Airlines, US Airways and Varig is the world's largest global alliance and provides valuable network and loyalty benefits to customers.^[2]

In recent years, Air New Zealand has implemented changes to its domestic, trans-Tasman & Pacific operations to improve services to both business and leisure travellers. Air New Zealand has introduced a new Express Class service on these routes to meet customer demand for lower fares, more choice of flights and simplified booking processes. A new fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft has progressively come into service since October 2003 on the airline’s short haul international routes.^[3]
