The Queensland Government has struck a deal that will see Air New Zealand fly new aircraft into Cairns from April 2020.
Member for Cairns Michael Healy said Air New Zealand would introduce more efficient aircraft to service the airline’s existing 15,000 yearly visitors who visit Cairns via this route more frequently, making it easier for tourists from New Zealand to visit the region.
Luis Perez, the Commercial Officer of Aviation at Cairns Airport said that the increased scheduling would also improve connectivity between Cairns and the American cities that Air New Zealand flies to, including Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco.
