Passenger numbers on Tasman and Pacific routes were up 7% to 237,000.

Air NZ carried a total of 1.06 million passengers across its networks during the month up 2.5% on February last year. Long haul numbers increased 0.5%, with RPKs up 3% and capacity down 0.3%. It led to a rise in load factor of 2.7 points to 83.5%.
