Air NZ to Add 180,000 Domestic Seats Air New Zealand intends to increase domestic jet capacity by a further 4.2% from September, taking the total number of services on its main trunk routes to more than 750 per week. This extra 180,000 B737 seats between Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin comes in addition to recent announcements of a 3.8% capacity increase across the carrier's entire domestic network from November and a 10.5% increase in domestic jet capacity from January next year. “What this means for our customers is that we are adding a total of more than half a million additional seats on our domestic jet network from early next year – offering even more everyday low fares and increased frequency,” says Air New Zealand general manager commercial Jeff McDowall. |
