Wilkinson said they will make it easier for more visitors to travel to New Zealand and connect onto the airline\u2019s domestic network, supporting tourism and businesses across the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More belly cargo for exporters, more choice for outbound travelers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The extra flights will also add cargo capacity at a key time of year. According to Wilkinson, this will help New Zealand exporters move more products into China during the Chinese New Year period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The added frequencies are also expected to serve outbound travelers from New Zealand, including those going to China to celebrate the holiday with family and friends, as well as passengers connecting to other destinations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Air China partnership extends reach to more than 30 destinations across China<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air New Zealand\u2019s alliance with Air China provides further options between the two countries.
