Air New Zealand increases Sydney to Queenstown direct to five times a week for ski season


Air New Zealand’s popular direct service from Sydney to Queenstown will increase to five times per week over the peak period this winter.
The five times per week service will operate during July and August on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, four times a week through September and twice a week through October.

This will complement twice weekly Melbourne and Brisbane to Queenstown direct flights.
In total, nine Air New Zealand flights a week with more than 1300 available seats will be making their way to the region.

“Interest from Australians in coming to Queenstown continues to strengthen and we’re very pleased by early bookings onto the additional services,” says Air New Zealand General Manager Tasman/Pacific Airline, Glen Sowry.

“By providing visitors with a greater selection of flights across the week we are also releasing some of the pressure Queenstown Airport has been under particularly on Saturdays.”
Direct Sydney-Queenstown services outside of the ski season are currently operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays departing at 10.00 am and arriving at 2.55 pm.

The weekly Melbourne-Queenstown direct service currently departs on Saturdays at 6.40 am arriving in Queenstown at 11.55 am.
