The national airline of New Zealand is Air New Zealand Limited. The airline, which is managed and run out of Auckland, flies to 20 domestic and 30 international tourist locations throughout 18 nations, mostly in and around the Pacific Edge. Since 1999, the aircraft has been a member of the Star Union.

In 1989, Air New Zealand underwent privatization; however, in 2001, following a close call with section 11 due to a tense situation involving the Australian airline Ansett Australia, it was reverted to greater government ownership. Air New Zealand also has extensive route networks to eastern Asia and North America, although its primary flying destinations are Australasia and the South Pacific. With trips to London Heathrow via Los Angeles and Hong Kong, it was the final transporter to go around the globe. The final decision was made in 2013 after Air New Zealand discontinued its Hong Kong-London flights in favor of a codeshare arrangement with Cathay Pacific.

Right now, Air New Zealand operates Airbus A320, Airbus A320neo family, Boeing 777, and Boeing 787 stream aircraft, as well as a nearby naval fleet of ATR 72 and Bombardier Q300 turboprop aircraft. Air New Zealand offers an incredible in-flight experience, and the degree of comfort is also fairly noticeable. The airline also provides an amazing in-flight experience, which is undoubtedly diverse in nature. Air New Zealand has evolved and altered throughout time in terms of how commercial aviation services are operated.
