AIR NEW ZEALAND AND ANA LAUNCH NEW PARTNERSHIP
Air New Zealand has announced today that from March 25 next year Air New Zealand and ANA will establish a closer partnership providing travellers on both airlines with improved access to destinations in Japan and New Zealand. A Star Alliance partner airline, ANA is the ninth largest airline in the world by revenue and the largest in Japan by passenger numbers. Founded in 1952 ANA flies today to 77 domestic Japan and international cities.
To assist the development of this new partnership opportunity the following changes will take place to Air New Zealand operations from 25 March 2012.
1. Flights between New Zealand and Tokyo (Narita airport) will shift from Narita Terminal 2 to Narita Terminal 1 South – the Star Alliance terminal at Narita airport providing enhanced flight connection opportunities to both ANA and other Star Alliance partner airlines
2. Business Premier and Star Alliance Gold members will have access to the ANA Lounge (not the Suite Lounge) at both Narita and Kansai airports. Arrangement for Koru Club members have not yet been finalised.
3. Check-in at Osaka (Kansai airport) remain in the same terminal but shift location
4. Travel on ANA is now permitted on Air New Zealand fares between New Zealand – Japan, Taiwan, Korea and Europe giving Airpoints members more opportunities to earn Airpoints Dollars
Subject to regulatory approval Air New Zealand and ANA will introduce the following code share flights on the following flight sectors.
1. ANA will code share on NZ international flights between New Zealand and Japan
2. ANA will code share on NZ domestic New Zealand flights between AKL-WLG/CHC/ZQN, expanding to CHC-WLG/ZQN when Air New Zealand operates flights between NRT-CHC
3. Air NZ will code share on NH domestic Japan flights between NRT-NGO/CTS and KIX-HND/FUK/OKA
