South Pacific flights

AIR NEW ZEALAND has announced a makeover of its trans-Tasman and Pacific Island services commencing later this year.  Out goes Business Class, due to a major reduction of a calling for this cabin with government agencies and major companies cutting back on eligibility.  The airline carries more than half a million passengers to and from the Pacific Islands annually.  Essentially the airline plans to revamp its services in an area that is fiercely competitive with eight airlines vying for business.  What it calls “The Tasman Pacific Fleet” will essentially standardise on one aircraft, a single class Airbus A320 with 171 seats.  Air New Zealand has the largest capacity share of any airline on the trans-Tasman market, with 350 flights per week. www.airnewzealand.com
