Singapore Airlines Alliance

Our new alliance with Singapore Airlines gives you access to three non-stop flights a day to Singapore, seven days a week. Flights are from Auckland and Christchurch and are available for sale from 25 September 2014, for travel from 6 January 2015.

More seats, more destinations.

The alliance brings increased capacity between New Zealand and Singapore, with Air New Zealand to operate a newly refitted Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, while Singapore Airlines will operate their largest aircraft, the Airbus A380.
The introduction of Air New Zealand codeshare to the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir networks means access to more than 50 destinations around the world, including South East Asia, the United Kingdom, Europe and South Africa.
