Air New Zealand marks 60 years of Auckland-Hong Kong flights with special fares and a legacy of cargo, tourism, and business links.
Air New Zealand is celebrating 60 years of service between Auckland and Hong Kong, marking the milestone with special fares from $699 one way, available March 2–15, 2026.
The route began on March 3, 1966, with a DC8 flight via Sydney and Darwin, known for its dramatic approach into Kai Tak Airport.
Over decades, it evolved from DC8s and DC10s to Boeing 747s and 767s, with non-stop flights resuming in 1978 and expanding to up to 16 weekly flights today.
The airline operates the majority of air freight between the two cities, primarily e-commerce goods and consumer electronics, including 900 tonnes of milk formula in 2025.
The route supports tourism, exports, and business, strengthened by a strategic alliance with Cathay Pacific.
