Air Canada is looking to take advantage of New Zealand's love of travel, announcing flights between Auckland and Vancouver.
The North American airline will operate a seasonal route, comprising four weekly flights between the cities from December 12, 2019 to the end of March 2020.
Air Canada has also finalised
a Memorandum of Understanding with Star Alliance partner Air New Zealand, which will see the airlines co-operating in the form of joint venture, subject to regulatory approvals.
Air New Zealand and Air Canada have collaborated as Star Alliance partners for more than 20 years.
This comes at a good time for New Zealand travellers, with Air New Zealand announcing a massive shake-up of domestic pricing earlier this week. As part of this move, the airline said would make 750,000 seats a year available for less than $50.
