About Air New Zealand

Since the earliest days, the people of the South Pacific have been great travellers. Air New Zealand has continued that tradition, pioneering routes that link its Pacific region to the rest of the world.

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.

Air New Zealand's commitment to delivering excellent customer service and, one which embodies the confidence, unique style and friendliness of New Zealand, continues to be recognised through many prestigious awards. Recent awards include “Best Long Haul Airline” in the seventh annual Conde Naste UK Readers’ Awards; Best Business Class to the South Pacific in 2006 by Business Traveller Magazine and “Best Pacific Airline” for the seventh year in a row at the TTG Asia Travel Awards 2005.

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.

In 2005, Air New Zealand commenced introduction of its new long haul international services on Boeing 770-220 and refitted Boeing 747-400s. The new service delivers state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment systems and lie-flat seating in Business Premier class. Passengers can enjoy premium New Zealand food and wines on their flight and to compliment their inspiring journey, staff are attired in a new uniform designed by leading New Zealand designer, Zambesi.
