AIR New Zealand, tapping the burgeoning Chinese tourist market, and strong interest by New Zealanders in the Olympic Games in Beijing next year, will start flying to Beijing from July 18 next year, ahead of the Olympic Games.
Air New Zealand chief executive Rob Fyfe announced the new service Thursday, the Dominion Post daily reported. The service, subject to all necessary Chinese regulatory and operating approvals, would operate out of New Zealand's largest city of Auckland on Wednesday and Friday and out of Beijing on Thursday and Saturday using the airline's new Boeing 777-200ER aircraft.
