Since launching alliance flights in 2015, the partnership has served over 5.5 million passengers, offering seamless travel options between New Zealand, Singapore, and key global markets.
According to New Zealand’s Ministry of Transport (MoT) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the alliance has strengthened international connectivity, expanded tourism growth, and enhanced cargo transport between the two nations.
Expanding Travel Options & International Reach
With up to 38 return flights per week between New Zealand and Singapore, travelers benefit from greater flexibility and convenience. The partnership enables smooth connections through Singapore Changi Airport, consistently ranked as the world’s best airport by Skytrax and Airports Council International (ACI).
Key features of the alliance include:
- Three daily services between Auckland and Singapore (jointly operated).
- A fourth seasonal daily flight during peak summer travel.
- Daily Christchurch-Singapore flights, increasing to 10 weekly flights during peak season.
- Seamless domestic connectivity within New Zealand, linking 20 destinations across the North and South Islands.
According to Tourism New Zealand and the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE), the alliance has been instrumental in attracting high-spending international visitors, particularly from:
- United Kingdom, India, and Germany (top inbound markets).
- Thailand, Southeast Asia, and the UK (most popular outbound destinations for Kiwi travelers).
Supporting Tourism & Economic Growth
The New Zealand-Singapore air corridor has played a pivotal role in boosting tourism and business connectivity, with Christchurch and the South Island benefiting significantly from the direct Singapore-Christchurch service.
Mike Williams, Air New Zealand Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer, highlighted the alliance’s success:
