Air New Zealand’s dominance in New Zealand’s domestic market has led to higher fares, fewer seats, and reduced service, sparking calls for regulatory action.
Air New Zealand faces criticism for lack of competition in New Zealand’s domestic aviation market, with regional fares rising 4.2% and seats falling on non-competitive routes, while routes with Jetstar see fares drop 4% and capacity grow.
The airline controls over 80% of domestic capacity and routes, leading to reduced service, especially for early and late flights, and aging aircraft with low utilization.
Critics say airport charges aren’t driving costs, pointing to internal inefficiencies and lack of competition as key issues, urging regulatory oversight to ensure fair pricing and service.
