AIR New Zealand has decided to terminate services between Hong Kong and London-Heathrow in March 2013.
The daily Auckland-Hong Kong-London service was launched in 2006 and the Auckland-Hong Kong daily service will continue to operate.
Air New Zealand has instead signed a strategic agreement with Cathay Pacific Airways that will see the latter’s flights on the Hong Kong-London sector bearing Air New Zealand’s codeshare flight numbers.
This marks yet another case of cross-alliance strategic partnership as Air New Zealand is a Star Alliance member while Cathay Pacific is a oneworld member.
