Singapore Airlines alliance

Our new alliance with Singapore Airlines gives you access to a new route via Singapore to New Zealand. Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines are codesharing on each other's flights between London and Manchester to Singapore and onto Auckland and Christchurch.

As part of the alliance Air New Zealand has expanded its international long-haul network and now operates services between Auckland and Singapore offering you greater connectivity and increased flight frequency. Both Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines operate one return service each day between Auckland and Singapore.

You will enjoy a range of premium inflight products and services on board Air New Zealand's newly refurbished Boeing 777-200ER as well as the Singapore Airlines' Airbus A380 which operates on the route between Auckland and Singapore.
