Air NZ MCY promo

SEASONAL services between Auckland & Queensland’s Sunshine Coast are being promoted under a nationwide campaign in NZ, titled ‘Sunshine by Lunchtime’.

Visit Sunshine Coast, Tourism & Events Queensland and Air New Zealand’s new campaign ties to the RTO’s ‘Come to Life’ branding, and entices Kiwis to escape NZ’s cooler temperatures over winter.

Air New Zealand’s non-stop flights linking Auckland with Maroochydore operate up to four times weekly from 07 Jul to 29 Oct, departing at 0930 and touching down in Qld at 1125.

Visit Sunshine Coast ceo Simon Latchford said the region’s mild and sunny climate where temps remained around 25C season long, along with its contemporary beach culture, rainforest trekking options, dining and event line- up made it a “hugely attractive winter sun proposition”.

Air NZ chief revenue officer Cam Wallace said Maroochydore was “growing steadily” for the carrier.
