Air New Zealand launches low-cost seats slashing domestic arifares by up to $10. The newly introduced low-cost seats are only for carry-on luggage for travellers.
The airlines said the low-cost seats suit style fares and it would be less by 6 percent in average.
The flexible fare structure was earlier introduced by the national carrier on Tasman and Pacific Island flights about fourteen months ago. The outstanding success of it is the result of new low-cost seats for the domestic destinations.
Air New Zealand also announced today the launching of $59 stand-by fares nationwide until June 30, 2011. These stand-by fares are applicable on many of the domestic destinations out of 27 or in any non-stop off peak flights.
The longest distances are Aucland-Queenstown and Auckland-Dunedin. The fare of this route one way is $79.
Just for $10 extra per person in one way journey the standby fares are made available, including a bag.
Air New Zealand group general manager Australasia airline Bruce Parton said there will be thousands of last minute bargain seats option for travellers every week on regional and main trunk routes.
Jetstar is to launch flights on December 22 from capital to Queenstown at $79 one way, and this would give tough competition to Air New Zealand.
Presently Air New Zealand has a monopoly on the route and its direct flight to Queensland was $266.
