It is business as usual for our London-Los Angeles flights until the service ceases in October 2020 and no tickets have been sold past this date.Īfter October 2020, there will continue to be plenty of choice. If you’re currently booked to travel to Auckland with us, there’s no impact to your travel plans. What are my options for travel to New Zealand? This network reset puts us in the best position to take advantage of this.
Looking ahead, we expect North America to continue to be New Zealand’s fastest growing visitor market. The Atlantic has also become one of the most hotly contested routes in the world and we lack the market advantages and scale of the European and North American airlines. Less than 7 percent of all airline travellers between London and Auckland chose to fly via Los Angeles last year. The number of ways to fly between London and Auckland has more than doubled in the past decade and this has changed traveller preferences. However, dynamics have changed in recent years. Our London-Los Angeles service has been a flagship route for Air New Zealand since it began in 1982.
We appreciate this will be disappointing for those who enjoy flying with us between London and Los Angeles, and via LA to New Zealand so I thought I’d share some context and more importantly, what it means for our customers. At the same time, we’ve made the difficult decision to withdraw from our London-Los Angeles service in October 2020. We’ve announced we’re launching a non-stop service between New York and New Zealand from next October. For anyone using this service I received this email from Air New Zealand following out recent flight LHR - LAX - Rarotonga.Īir New Zealand has shared some news today that will shape the future of our international network and how our customers will travel.
