Air New Zealand Company Description
Unlike the kiwi, New Zealand's flightless national bird, Air New Zealand soars far and wide. The company makes most of its money by transporting passengers to destinations in the Asia/Pacific region, Europe, and North America; it also serves about two dozen cities in New Zealand. It operates a fleet of more than 95 aircraft, including both jets and turbo-props. Air New Zealand extends its offerings by participating in the Star Alliance, a global marketing and code-sharing network that includes carriers such as Lufthansa and United Airlines. (Code-sharing allows airlines to sell tickets on one another's flights.) The New Zealand government owns 80% of Air New Zealand.
