Air New Zealand is launching direct flights from New York to Auckland this fall, the first-ever direct flights from the East Coast to New Zealand. (www.msn.com) More...

I just did the JFK to SIN nonstop at 18:50 min and that was after Russia airspace was closed. Singapore Air only offers premium economy on this flight and I am surprised they are offering economy. No way would I ever do less then premium economy with additional space, leg and foot rests and more recline on such a flight. I would imagine this new route would only be West from JFK as the JFK to SIN is almost equal East West or North (not north while Russia is closed) and Auckland is about 10 hours from SIN south and east
I think is a good and bold move by Air New Zealand. Like all other airlines they have been hit hard over the past couple of years. It is going to be the ones who take bold maybe risky steps now to get back on their feet who might bounce back first. Looking at new routes instead of relying on old established ones, to me anyways shows forward thinking.... Hope it works out well for them.
Absolutely - there's not many airlines yet taking on such long-haul - nobody's queuing up to reinstate heading back down to NZ - thinking outside the box is just what NZ needs to recover from the horrendous lockdown imposed
U r so on pt with ur statement. A very long ð« loved ANZ and hope it works for them in my city of NYC!
When will writers learn that direct and non stop are not the same. Also show a 787 and not a 777..
Just wanted to point out that ANZ once flew to London-Heathrow via both Hong Kong * LAX (clockwise & anticlockwise). Now it doesn't fly to London-Heathrow at all & sold its slots there because it couldn't stand the competition. And this was before COVID.
It will be interesting to see how this New York flight pans out.
If AAL, UAL or DAL, also do the same thing, will ANZ quit again because of competition?
