Singapore Airlines is noticing a marked pick of business from New Zealand and is looking forward to providing more opportunities for agents to sell, says George Robertson, general manager New Zealand with Singapore Airlines.

He says that customer confidence is strong to the extent that the rebound in Kiwi travel has surprised some people in the airline’s head office.

Singapore Airlines will resume scheduled passenger services to Auckland and Christchurch as part of its minimum connectivity network. 

The re-instatement of twice-weekly services to Auckland and once-weekly services to Christchurch from Tuesday 9 June, will mark the first scheduled passenger flights to the cities since SQ ceased operations in March following the closure of New Zealand and Singapore’s borders due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
