Government awards more cargo flights to NZ


New Zealand has launched its Phase Two of the International Air Freight Capacity (IAFC) Scheme. Running through to 31 March 2021, Air New Zealand (NZ), which has operated over 1,100 return flights, carrying over 39,000 t of cargo in and out of the Pacific country since it started flying under the IAFC scheme in May, will operate approximately 55 international flights per week going forward.

 

General Manager Cargo Anna Palairet: "These additional flights will be instrumental in helping New Zealand exporters get their produce on holiday tables around the world. We’ll be sending more than 1000 t of lamb up to the UK in time for Christmas and more than 3,500 t of stone fruit around the globe with a majority moving into China for the Chinese New Year." (ah)
