Air NZ flies more

AIR New Zealand saw a 55.4% increase in passengers carried in Jul when compared to the same month last year, with 1.08 million travellers hopping aboard its jets for the period.

Passenger load factor for the month was recorded at 70.9%, a 13.7 point bump on Jul 2020.

The airline’s recent financial report for the 12 months to 30 Jun showed a short-term focus on improving the domestic value it offers its customers.

“We have reimagined our domestic business, increasing the choice of flight times and introducing greater price differentiation for peak and offpeak flying,” Air New Zealand’s CEO Greg Foran said.
