(CAPA) New Zealands newest domestic airline, Pacific Blue, is offering fares from NZ9 to celebrate the announcement that its services are taking off early.
Pacific Blue says its domestic services will commence three days earlier than the previously announced date of 15-Nov-07, with travellers now able to book flights from 12-Nov-07.
3,000 seats will be on sale until midnight 22-Occt-07, for the special price of NZ9, for travel on 12-Nov-07 and 13-Nov-07 on the airline’s three domestic routes: Auckland-Wellington, Auckland-Christchurch, and Wellington-Christchurch.
Pacific Blue General Manager Commercial, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, said: “To celebrate our early launch and to say thank you to all New Zealanders for supporting us, we decided to offer a NZ9 sale fare for the first couple of days of flying. So for less than the price of a pizza delivery, thousands of Kiwis have the chance to be among the first guests on our new domestic services.”
“When we announced our domestic services in August we had an immediate and dramatic impact on the cost of local air travel,” he said. “Over 100,000 New Zealanders snapped up our NZ39 fares, and our competitors immediately dropped their lead-in fares to match ours.”
Mr Hamilton-Manns said the company’s strategy in New Zealand is based on giving travellers easy access to low fares, friendly service, and a strong range of supporting products.
“In August when Pacific Blue announced it would fly domestically in New Zealand, competitors dropped their lead-in fares by up to 30%. Our promise to New Zealanders is that we’re here to keep the air fair, and that if they want a great deal on their domestic travel, they should always check Pacific Blue first.”
Pacific Blue is adding two new B737 Next-Generation aircraft to its fleet in early Nov-07, with an additional aircraft due early in 2008.
