From October 28, Air New Zealand (ANZ) will start a second daily service between Auckland and London via Hong Kong. Newly-refurbished Boeing 747-400 aircraft will be used. Group general manager international airlines, Mr Ed Sims, said annual arrivals to New Zealand from the UK had increased by more than 10 per cent on average since the airline launched the first daily service in 1998.

He added: This year, we will be increasing our advertising and promotional spend by 50 per cent in the UK and Europe markets to ensure we drive further growth…we can stimulate new demand with higher frequency and new routing options, including the world`s only current round-the-world service on one airline.

He said ANZ was the only Star Alliance carrier to operate between Hong Kong and London. The transit time of two hours in Hong Kong is one of the shortest for travel between London and Auckland.
