There will be one flight a day between New Zealand and Beijing in 2011.
Air New Zealand Limited is planning to add two new flights to its current China service in 2011 to meet the increasing market demand.
Currently Air New Zealand operates three flights to Shanghai and two to Beijing each week. After the new services are launched, there will be one flight a day between the two countries.
The two services are the Auckland to Shanghai and Auckland to Beijing roundtrip routes. The Shanghai service will be a temporary route from December 11, 2011 to March 8, 2012. The Beijing service is a permanent one and will open on December 6, 2011.
