The airline's flights, which take effect from 8 June, are designed for business travellers to leave regional areas and fly to Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch.
Air New Zealand is extending the time frame for its significantly reduced network, with minimal international operations to continue through to 31 August 2020. In response to government travel restrictions and low demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline previously announced a limited international network through to 30 June, to keep air links open
Greg Foran also stated that he expects it will take two years for the airline to return to even 70 per cent of its former size.
Air New Zealand will restart its Wellington to Queenstown route on 28 May and add additional flights between Auckland and Queenstown due to strong demand.
