Air New Zealand has 16 A321-200NX jets
SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, October 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Air New Zealand is more than just an airline - it is a key player in New Zealand’s economy, tourism sector, and international connectivity.
Serving over 16 million passengers annually, the carrier has a reputation for safety, customer service, and clever operational strategies. With a route network spanning Australasia, North America, Asia, and the Pacific Islands, the airline plays a vital role in linking New Zealand with the world.
Aero South Pacific’s new 93-page Air New Zealand Market Report – Summer 2025/26 offers a deep dive into the airline’s current market position, future opportunities and challenges.
About Air New Zealand
The report reveals that Air New Zealand will be operating to 48 cities and towns in 17 countries this upcoming IATA season, including 20 New Zealand cities and towns and 28 international destinations.
The airline operates 115 aircraft, including seventeen A320-200s, six A320-200N, fourteen A321-200NX, ten B777-300ERs, fourteen B787-9s, thirty-one ATR72-600s, and twenty-three DHC8-Q300s. The fleet is relatively young, and most aircraft are owned rather than leased.
In the seven days to November 2, 2025, Air New Zealand will operate 3,279 flights offering 375,445 seats. Aero South Pacific’s report shows that 356,487 of these seats are in the economy cabin, 9,824 are in the premium economy cabin, and 9,134 are in the business cabin.
Air New Zealand recently reported an after-tax profit of NZD126 million (USD73.4 million) for the 12 months to June 30, 2025. Notably, CEO Greg Foran said this would have been significantly higher but for the large number of grounded aircraft that continue to constrain its operations and profits.
Manufacturing issues with the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engines used on B787-9s and the Pratt & Whitney 1000G engines used on narrow-body Airbus neo aircraft are impacting airlines worldwide. In Air New Zealand’s case, it will see up to 11 of its 60 jet aircraft out of service during 2025.
