Air New Zealand and Singapore
Airlines are celebrating 10 years of partnership, connecting
New Zealand to the world and providing customers with
greater choice, seamless travel, and outstanding
service.

Since launching alliance flights in 2015, the
two airlines have carried more than 5.5 million customers
between New Zealand, Singapore, and beyond. Today, the
partnership offers travellers convenient travel options to
over 55 destinations worldwide, including key cities across
Southeast Asia, India, Europe and the United
Kingdom.

Top destinations for Kiwi
travelling abroad through the partnership include the United
Kingdom, India, and Thailand, while India, the United
Kingdom, and Germany are among the most popular countries
that visitors coming into New Zealand travel
from.

With up to 38 return flights
operating between Auckland, Christchurch, and Singapore
during peak summer travel periods, customers can easily
connect onwards through the Singapore Airlines Group’s
global network. Singapore Airlines’ hub at Singapore
Changi Airport, consistently ranked as the world’s best
airport, makes transiting through Singapore a popular choice
for customers travelling beyond.

The partnership also
strengthens connectivity into New Zealand, making it easier
for visitors to explore the North and South Islands with the
ability to connect seamlessly to 20 ports across
Aotearoa.

In addition to three daily services jointly
operated to and from Auckland, Singapore Airlines operates a
fourth daily flight over the summer period, offering Kiwi
more choice than ever before. Singapore Airlines also
operates daily flights to Christchurch year-round,
increasing to 10 return services per week during peak summer
months.

This direct connection plays a key role in
supporting South Island tourism and local business, and
provides greater choice for international travellers
exploring the Canterbury region and beyond.

Air New
Zealand Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer Mike
Williams says the 10 year milestone is a testament to the
strength of the partnership and the opportunities it has
created for travellers.

“Our partnership with
Singapore Airlines is built on a shared commitment to
exceptional service and delivering the best experience for
our customers. Whether travelling for business or leisure,
customers know they can expect a consistent, high-quality
journey across both airlines.”

“It’s also been
instrumental in bringing visitors to our shores. New Zealand
is a bucket list destination for many, and through our
partnership with Singapore Airlines, we’ve made ticking
New Zealand off the list even easier.”

George
Robertson, General Manager Singapore Airlines New Zealand
said the milestone was a celebration of the strength of the
partnership.

“Singapore Airlines’
commitment to the New Zealand market is reflected in the
continuing strength of this decade long alliance with Air
New Zealand, which has delivered significant growth in both
passenger and cargo services between New Zealand and
Singapore.

“The past ten years have
seen millions of Kiwi enjoy our award-winning in-flight and
on ground service, seamless connections through our hub in
Changi to destinations across the UK, Europe, Southeast Asia
and India as well as crucial domestic connectivity for our
inbound customers.”

Celebrating a decade, the
airlines have launched a global brand campaign to
acknowledge the strength of the partnership. Titled
Celebrating 10 years of partnership, the campaign
will run across print, digital, and social media platforms,
showcasing the alliance’s commitment to providing seamless
connections, exceptional service, and customer rewards
throughout the entire travel journey, encapsulated by the
