Air New Zealand is set to introduce a new seasonal route connecting Christchurch and Adelaide, offering travelers a direct link between the South Island of New Zealand and South Australia. The service will commence on October 27, 2025, and run twice weekly until March 27, 2026. Tickets for this route will be available for purchase starting at 10 am tomorrow.

The airline plans to operate the flights on Mondays and Fridays using a narrowbody Airbus jet, providing approximately 15,000 seats throughout the season. Fares for the journey start at $340 one way.

Greg Foran, Chief Executive Officer of Air New Zealand, emphasized the significance of this new service in the airline's growth strategy. "We know there's strong demand for direct services between the South Island and Australia – not just for Kiwi travellers wanting to explore, but also to welcome more Australian tourists directly into the heart of the South Island," he stated.
