Air New Zealand and Cathay Pacific have received approval from the New Zealand government to extend their partnership, enabling continued enhanced travel options and connectivity between New Zealand and Hong Kong. This extension provides access to a broader global network.
The alliance, which began in 2013, has significantly contributed to increasing capacity and tourism between the two regions. It includes up to three daily services during peak seasons, offering passengers more choices while boosting tourism and trade.
Michael Williams, Air New Zealand's Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer, highlighted the importance of this partnership in connecting New Zealand with Asia and beyond. "Together, we have built a robust network that not only connects New Zealanders to destinations around the world, including Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, but also ensures convenient access for global travellers to explore New Zealand's regions via Hong Kong," he stated.
