SIA, Air NZ get Kiwi nod to extend alliance; S'pore carrier signs deal to boost NSW visits
Singapore
SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) and Air New Zealand's joint venture alliance has received renewed approval from the New Zealand Ministry of Transport, the final step in enabling the two flag carriers to extend their alliance for a further five years until March 2024.
Under the alliance, which was first launched in January 2015, the two carriers have boosted frequencies between the two countries, adding capacity of over 25 per cent. This includes increased services during peak season to Christchurch, and the introduction of a Singapore-Wellington service via Australia.
