Virgin Blue Group CEO, Brett Godfrey, said the new flights would make air travel more affordable for more New Zealanders.

“Travellers in regional New Zealand have made it clear that they want the same easy access to low fares that the three main centres enjoy and our announcements today go a long way to achieving that,” he said.

“When the new services start Pacific Blue will have international flights from six New Zealand airports – Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown – which is more than any other airline.”
“As much as Kiwis enjoy a warm weather holiday in Australia, we know that Aussies love to visit the stunning scenery of Queenstown for adventure and ski holidays or simply to relax, and now they’ll be able to do that at a reasonable price,” Mr Godfrey said.

The airline also announced it would introduce a direct daily jet service between Dunedin and Auckland to replace its current Dunedin-Christchurch-Auckland service.

Pacific Blue said it was making some changes to its trans-Tasman, Pacific and domestic schedules to accommodate the new routes. This included reducing capacity on domestic services by around 1% of available seat kilometres and retiming some domestic flights to offer a more “business friendly” timetable.
