Air New Zealand's trans-Tasman ticket sales have hit a record high, with
tens of thousands of people booking flights after the travel bubble
declaration, the flag carrier announced on Wednesday.
April is
shaping up to be the airline's busiest month so far, with flights from
Auckland-Sydney, Auckland-Brisbane and Christchurch-Melbourne on 19
April selling out fast, Xinhua news agency quoted the airline as saying
in a statement.
May is coming in at a close second, Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Greg Foran said in the statement.
Prime
Minister Jacinda Ardern on Tuesday announced that Australians will be
allowed to enter the country without mandatory quarantine from April 19.
"Auckland-Sydney
was our most popular route yesterday, seeing the largest growth in
bookings to date. We expect this is a mixture of friends and family
making up for a year of missed milestones, and business travellers keen
to get moving again.
"While a lot of Kiwis are heading across the
ditch, there have been really strong bookings for Australians coming to
check out New Zealand. Queenstown will see an influx of Aussies in July
and September and we expect to see a bigger boost around the country
for the July school holidays. It's promising to be a busy ski season for
the mountains.
"We've certainly been looking forward to this
moment for a few months now, so to finally have the bubble open is
terrific. This will be a great boost for the New Zealand economy and
tourism sector," Foran added.
