84 TRANS-TASMAN FLIGHTS Virgin Australia Virgin Australia operates approximately 18,000 seats and 84 flights across the Trans-Tasman to New Zealand on a weekly basis. Using its own fleet, Virgin Australia operates direct services to Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier, Nelson, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Queenstown and Wellington. Virgin Australia, in partnership with a number of airlines including Delta Air Lines and Etihad, expand their reach into New Zealand with a total of 22 airports, ranging both international and domestic. However the seven year trans- Tasman alliance of Air New Zealand and Virgin Australia will come to an end in October 2018 as current regulatory approval for the alliance expires and the parties will not apply for renewal. This makes way for Virgin Australia to introduce exciting changes across the Tasman in the near future.

Emirates Airlines Emirates have long operated into the New Zealand market via services from Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. The airline offers approximately 21 flights a week across the Trans-Tasman. This is supported by its agreement with Qantas Airways allowing codeshare services across the Trans-Tasman. In 2016 Emirates branched out and launched direct Dubai- Auckland services offering 7 flights a week, catering to strong demand. With the development of its agreement with Qantas, Emirates now plans to pull out of Trans-Tasman services, including Auckland-Brisbane and Auckland- Melbourne from March 2018 and instead plans to offer additional capacity into the country, with possible direct services to Christchurch. From mid-june 2018 Emirates will fly daily from Auckland to Bali year-round. Emirates 777-300ER aircraft will add around 130,000 seats across first class, business class and economy over a year on the route. Emirates will have services onwards to Dubai and their wider network, catering for the New Zealand traveller and inbound market.
