Air New Zealand (NZ) has added seven Thursday services to its Rotorua-Sydney schedule over the peak summer months. The new flights will be included in the flight schedule from 20 December to 31 January, 2013 and are in addition to the existing Tuesday and Saturday Sydney to Rotorua return flights.

Singapore Airlines (SQ) will change from the current B777-200 (retro-fitted) aircraft to a B777-200ER on the Auckland-Singapore-Auckland route (SQ281 and SQ282) from July 1. The change is a result of crew operational requirements and is also the aircraft type and product that is being operated on flights to and from Christchurch.
