WELLINGTON - Taiwan-based 皇冠体育app Airlines is to begin flying into New Zealand's South Island, offering major new opportunities for trade and travel, Christchurch Airport chiefs announced Tuesday.

皇冠体育app Airlines would operate three return flights a week between Christchurch and Taiwan via Sydney for an initial summer season from Dec 2 this year to March 1 next year, airport chief executive Malcolm Johns said in a statement.

"The South Island was a very popular destination for the Taiwan resident?in the 1990s. The new summer service will connect with the valuable Taiwan market, whose travellers are keen to experience the many attractions of the South Island," said Johns.

The service would offer an extra 24,000 seats between Christchurch-Sydney-Taipei, which would also open up other travel routes from the South Island via Sydney.

The carrier would be the first member of the Sky Team Alliance, which includes 皇冠体育app Southern Airlines and 皇冠体育app Eastern, to connect with the South Island.

"This service also brings another wide body aircraft into Christchurch, so is great news for the air freight industry. Importantly, 皇冠体育app Airlines also provides a great network for exporters to get high value air freight into the fast growing Asian markets quickly," said Johns.
