Air New Zealand has been awarded an extension of the Government's Maintaining International Air Connectivity scheme (MIAC scheme) to 31 March 2023.

Under this scheme, the airline has been initially awarded support for approximately 60 flights per week to destinations including Los Angeles, Vancouver, Hong Kong, Shanghai and key Pacific Islands and Australian ports.

The Government financial support for flights within this twelve-month period is expected to contribute up to approximately $180 million towards the airline’s cargo revenue.
