  • Jetstar Brings More Visitors to Queenstown for Christmas
    Dec 23, 2011 16:46 +08 Jetstar Brings More Visitors to Queenstown for Christmas Crew of the first Jetstar flight on the Wellington to Queenstown route celebrate. • First flights from Wellington and Sydney to Queenstown almost sold-out • Growing New Zealand tourism through competition and low fares • Jetstar’s on time performance for Queenstown 88 per cent Hundreds of friends, family members and holidaymakers arrived in Queenstown today on Jetstar’s inaugural flights from Wellington and Sydney, just in time for Christmas and New Year. All but a handful of the 180 seats on flight JQ293 from Wellington were filled, with the A320 aircraft touching down in Queenstown mid-morning. Meanwhile, more than 170 passengers winged their way across the Tasman from Sydney on flight JQ223 to arrive in Queenstown mid-afternoon. Jetstar Australia & NZ CEO, David Hall, joined Queenstown Airport CEO, Steve Sanderson, and Destination Queenstown CEO, Tony Everitt, in welcoming passengers. “We’re pleased to be bringing friends and families together for Christmas, and more visitors to Queenstown,” Mr Hall said. “In addition to our new Sydney and Wellington flights, we’ve introduced an extra weekly Melbourne service and two extra weekly flights to Auckland. “In total, these services have the potential to bring an additional 180,000 additional travellers into the region each year,” said Mr Hall said. “Our low fares, which are at least 30 per cent lower than our competitor’s, mean travellers have more money to spend once they arrive.” Mr Sanderson said: “Today’s inaugural flights represent another significant inbound tourism injection for Queenstown.

  • Review of Auckland and Christchurch Airport's Third Price Setting Events
    28 November 2017 Jo Perry Chief Advisor, Compliance and Performance Analysis Regulation Branch Commerce Commission [email protected] Dear Jo, Review of Auckland and Christchurch Airport’s third price setting events – Process & Issues paper Executive Summary 1. A full and independent review of the recent pricing decisions by Auckland and Christchurch Airports is essential. Both airports have set prices that are not in the long-term interest of consumers and more must be done to protect consumers from the harm caused by monopoly pricing and monopoly service provision. 2. BARNZ and our members support the Commerce Commission carrying out a review of the pricing decisions and publishing a report on its findings. It is essential to have a clear statement of whether the pricing decisions are consistent with the Purpose of Part 4 of the Commerce Act 1986. 3. We support the Commission’s proposed timeframe for the review, but are concerned that the proposed scope is too narrow (ie the consultation paper proposes that quality of service, innovation and prior year expenditure efficiency will not be part of the review). If these items are excluded, the Commission will struggle to reach a full view of the performance of the airports and to determine whether the Part 4 Purpose is being met. More importantly, without a review of airport quality, innovation and efficiency, there is a real risk of consumers continuing to pay for inefficient airport costs, or receiving poor quality service or not benefitting from innovation. There is a direct link between investment levels, expenditure efficiency and service quality – these items cannot and should not be separated for the review.

  • Case Study: New Zealand
    Case Study: New Zealand Background Because of its geographic location, its dependence on tourism, and the absence of a comprehensive rail network, New Zealand has developed a large international and national airports network over the years. Until 1966, almost all New Zealand important airports were developed by the State and remained under the central Government ownership and management. There are three main international airports. First, Auckland Airport is the busiest and the main international airport. It is the only airport serving the Auckland metropolitan area, which gathers a third of the country’s total population. Second, Wellington International Airport is also a major domestic hub serving mainly business and government. International flights at Wellington Airport are principally from/to Australia. Third, Christchurch International Airport is the major international airport in the South Island, where it acts as the main hub and attracts a significant share of New Zealand’s international tourist traffic. There are other international airports in New Zealand, such as Dunedin, Hamilton, Queenstown, and Palmerston North, which also get flights from other countries (mainly Australia). Other commercial airports serve domestic and regional traffic. Commercialization/privatization: Airports The commercialization of New Zealand’s airports started early. First, the 1961 Joint Airport Scheme established the principles that resulted in both central and local governments jointly owning and operating airport facilities. The objective of this policy was both to benefit from the expertise of local governments on regional economic needs and opportunities, and to make local government directly invest in airport infrastructure. In 1974, 24 airports throughout New Zealand were under a joint venture ownership.
