Upgrading Singapore Network
Singapore Airlines (SQ) is set to enhance its capacity between New Zealand and Singapore in the coming year by increasing the number of seats available for Auckland (AUK) and Christchurch (CHC).
Singapore Airlines and its codeshare partner Air New Zealand operate three daily services connecting Auckland and Singapore. Air New Zealand deploys a Boeing 787-9 for one of these services.
Starting from March 31 next year, the second daily Air New Zealand service will switch to a Boeing 777-300ER, resulting in an additional 17,000 seats during the New Zealand winter months.
In October 2024, the two airlines plan to collaborate on four daily flights between Auckland and Singapore. Pending regulatory approval, the new direct service will utilize an Airbus A350-900, offering over 1,700 seats on the route each week.
This expansion will lead to the airline partners collectively surpassing their combined pre-Covid capacity on the route.
In addition to the increased flights from Auckland, the partners are planning to introduce a supplementary service to Christchurch, operated by Singapore Airlines, three times a week during the bustling end-of-year travel period, pending regulatory approval.
