AIR NZ BOOSTS CAPACITY TO LAX AND SEOUL

Air New Zealand will boost capacity between Auckland and two of its popular destinations - Los Angeles and Seoul, adding an additional 21,200 seats between the two routes. Between August 15 and October 29, 2022, Air New Zealand will increase frequency between Auckland and Los Angeles from seven to ten services per week on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft to complement its daily Boeing 777 service. Services between Auckland and Seoul will increase from one per week to two a week between September 12 and October 24, 2022, and will operate on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. Air New Zealand Chief Customer Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty saID the changes come in response to pent-up demand from customers travelling in both directions. “With the New Zealand border fully opened and the reduction in Covid travel restrictions, customers are telling us they’re ready to travel. With the return of international tourism, these additional flights will give customers more options and opportunities to experience the joy of travel once again.” “The extra capacity will add 33 per cent more seats on the Los Angeles route each week and double that on Seoul. This extra capacity will ensure we meet the growing demand we’ve been seeing for travel over the last month.” READ: Tim Clark: I would build another A380 only twice the size. SEE: Geoffrey Thomas discusses airport chaos About AirlineRatings.com Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world. Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information. The rating system takes into account a number of different factors related to audits from aviation’s governing bodies, lead associations, as well as the airlines, own safety data. Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate. Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline. .
