Air New Zealand: History and Facts

Air New Zealand traces its history to 1940 and Tasman Empire Airways Limited, whose flying boats crossed the Tasman Sea. Renamed Air New Zealand in 1965, it merged with domestic carrier NZNAC in 1978, joined Star Alliance in 1999, and was renationalized in 2001 after the collapse of its Ansett Australia investment.

Auckland is the main hub, launching some of the longest flights in the world, including nonstops to New York and Chicago with Boeing 787-9s and 777-300ERs. Domestically, A320s and ATR 72s hop between spectacular airports such as Queenstown and Wellington. The koru tail symbol and past Hobbit-themed liveries reflect a strong national identity.
