Air NZ celebrates Christchurch-Perth link
By admin


Air New Zealand has marked the launch of direct services from Christchurch to Perth with an event drawing key figures from the worlds of travel, media and politics.

The airline, in alliance with its trans-Tasman partner Virgin Australia, is the first airline to offer a direct service between Christchurch and Perth in over 20 years with the service expected to strengthen ties between New Zealand’s Christchurch and Canterbury region and the Western Australian market.  

The twice weekly non-stop service will operate through the peak demand period until late April 2014, providing convenient onward connections on both airlines’ extensive networks from both Christchurch and Perth.

Check out some pictures of the event below:
