Airline InfoAir New Zealand
Air New Zealand is the national airline and flag carrier of New Zealand, with headquarters based at Auckland City. This airline is currently the only one that circumnavigates the world reaching Asia, Europe and North America . Air New Zealand began operating in 1940, known then as Tasman Empire Airways Ltd and flying mainly from New Zealand to Australia. In 1965 the government of New Zealand took over the airline,renaming the carrier as Air New Zealand. Later in 1989 the airline was privatised and made good progress in expanding routes and making good profits. The airline in later years became involved in an unfortunate takeover of the Australian airline Ansett, which resulted badly for Air New Zealand,having to be saved in 2001 by the national government from bankruptcy. The years following since have been successful for Air New Zealand and only recently the airline was awarded at the Skytrax's 2012 World Airlines Awards in the UK, with 3rd Best Airline in the Australia/Pacific Region.
Air New Zealand is considered a 4 star airline with an aircraft fleet of 52 planes currently and travelling to 53 destinations worldwide. The safety record is good, with only a recent incident in 2008, when a hijack attempt was made on a domestic Air New Zealand flight, resulting in a successful outcome of the arrest of the hijacker. The cabin service and conditions are very good with high passenger approval. There are 3 categories of ticket available on flights - Business,Premium Economy and Economy. The Inflight Entertainment available on flights is a high standard with video on demand on personal TV monitors,showing multiple video film,audio,music and game options.
