Air New Zealand is preparing for a significant increase in domestic travel during the upcoming school holiday period. Scott Carr, General Manager Domestic at Air New Zealand, announced that the airline has added thousands of additional seats to accommodate the surge in demand from September 27 to October 13.
"With the increased demand for travel between 27 September and 13 October, we've added 25,000 extra seats across 260 domestic flights to help Kiwi get to where they need to be," Carr stated.
The airline anticipates its busiest day on Friday, with over 34,000 customers expected to travel across the country. "We're also expecting to carry some very precious cargo, with 5,500 unaccompanied minors and more than 300 furry friends currently booked to fly. We can't wait to see the heartwarming hugs and tail-wagging reunions in arrival halls across Aotearoa," Carr said.
