Air China launched its first flights to New Zealand today (10 December).
The new direct service between Beijing and Auckland will operate under a joint venture with Air New Zealand, with the Kiwi national carrier codesharing on the daily flights.
The outbound service, CA783, will depart Beijing’s Capital International Airport every day at 0040 and arrive in Auckland at 1810. The return flight, CA784, then departs at 2000 and arrives back in Beijing at 0430 the next morning.
Air China will operate the route using a two-class Airbus A330-200 aircraft with flat-bed seats in business class and power outlets in all seats.
“The new Beijing-Auckland service will offer more efficient, convenient and affordable flight options for business and leisure travellers between Air China and New Zealand. Air China and Air New Zealand will work together more closely to offer a more convenient air bridge for travellers,” stated Wang Mingyuan, senior vice President of Air China.
As part of its alliance with Air New Zealand, Air China will also codeshare on its partner’s flights between Auckland and Shanghai.
