Air New Zealand Cargo to expand network in North America

Air New Zealand cargo is all set to launch new services in North America. Between June and November, Houston, Honolulu, New York, and Chicago will all see resumptions of service or in the case of New York, a totally new destination for the airline, said a company statement. Alex Larsen, manager of global cargo sales at Air New Zealand said the robust resumption of passenger services is enabling the quick launch of these key gateways. “We’re seeing demand for our ports bounce back faster than anticipated. To free up capacity, our teams are working hard to get more 777s back in service, with the first 777 that was reanimated earlier in the year set to return to passenger flying from 1 July, the rest following shortly after. By July, we expect to be at 65 per cent of 2019 international capacity, with 27 of our 29 ports operating. The ramp up is well and truly underway,” he added.
