New Zealand’s tourism industry is taking off again, with today’s news from Air New Zealand of an important new link with the USA.
Air New Zealand’s new service linking New York with Auckland will open up a valuable visitor market for Aotearoa New Zealand, Tourism Industry Aotearoa says.
Offering a direct flight from the east coast of the USA will help attract high quality visitors from New York and the wider region, TIA communications manager Ann-Marie Johnson says.
“As our tourism industry starts to recover and rebuild, it will be important to make travel as easy as possible from our major markets. Coming just a week after the announcement that our borders will begin reopening from April 13, today’s news will be another welcome boost for tourism operators around the country,” Ann-Marie says.
The new Air New Zealand service will begin on September 17, three times a week, year-round with its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
