Thai Airways, Air New Zealand team up

BANGKOK: Thai Airways International and Air New Zealand will begin reciprocal code-share flights from July 1, the airlines said on Tuesday.

The agreement will see Air New Zealand code-share on Thai services between Bangkok and the Asian destinations Singapore and Phuket, and between Bangkok and European cities Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London, Rome and Stockholm.

"The code-share agreement enables Air New Zealand to market Bangkok as a gateway to various destinations in addition to our own existing Asian gateways of Singapore and Hong Kong," Norm Thompson, Air New Zealand Group general manager for marketing, said in a statement.

Thai Airways will also code-share on Air New Zealand's various domestic and trans-Tasman Sea services between Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane in Australia. -- AFP
