AIR New Zealand carried less than half the passengers in Oct than in the previous period last year, according to the carrier’s latest traffic report.
The airline flew just 690,000 passengers in Oct compared with 1.396 million last year following a large drop in long-haul flights in particular, which deteriorated from 172,000 passengers last year to only 7,000 in Oct.
MEANWHILE Air NZ has also today confirmed it has been awarded more international cargo flights under the International Air Freight Capacity (IAFC) scheme.
The NZ Government’s IAFC program will now run through until 31 Mar 2021 and will see Air NZ operate about 55 weekly international flights going forward.
Air NZ GM Cargo Anna Palairet said it was good news both for the airline and for NZ importers and exporters wanting to get their products to key markets around the world.
