Further information: Air New Zealand destinations

Air New Zealand flies to 27 domestic destinations and 27 international destinations in 15 countries across Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.

Apart from flying from hub city Auckland, Air New Zealand also flies the Los Angeles – Heathrow and Hong Kong – Heathrow routes. In December 2009, Air New Zealand announced a new Sydney – Rarotonga service to attract more Australians to the Cook Islands. Air New Zealand will be the only airline to operate direct services between the two nations. Previously, passengers from Australia had to transfer in Auckland to a connecting flight to Rarotonga. Currently, Air New Zealand already operates out of Rarotonga to Auckland and Los Angeles. In 2012 – after securing a contract from the Australian government – Air New Zealand will launch twice weekly service from Sydney and Brisbane respectively to Norfolk Island on its A320 aircraft, complementing its existing direct services from Auckland. Auckland to Bali services starting 20 June 2012 will be initiated with a 767-300 on a seasonal basis with potential to be a year-round service. As of part of its "expansion" of services to China, the airline will end its service to Beijing effective 30 June 2012 and consolidate its services to Shanghai where it will add a fifth weekly flight on 4 July 2012.
