“Booking patterns suggest that more Australians are looking at a New Zealand ski break after what’s expected to be a strong start to the season this weekend,” Qantas said in a statement on Friday.
“It’s the latest example of Qantas taking a flexible approach to its fleet and network in order to meet growing demand for travel to short and medium-haul international destinations – following several earlier announcements of capacity increases on Asian and trans-Tasman routes.”
Qantas flies Sydney-Queenstown alongside its low-cost unit Jetstar. Virgin Australia and Air New Zealand are also on the route.
