between Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Auckland Thursday, initiated a codeshare agreement Friday with the aim of expanding service networks in Northeast Asia and Oceania for both carriers.
The service, which will start from the second half of December, is expected to further strengthen Star Alliance’s flight network, as both carriers are members, said EVA Air, one of Taiwan’s leading carriers.
The airlines said passengers will have codeshare options from Taoyuan to Seoul and to eight destinations in Japan — Tokyo, Hakodate, Fukuoka, Komatsu, Okinawa, Osaka, Sapporo and Sendai — via flights operated by EVA Air.
Passengers will also be able to choose Air New Zealand flights from Taoyuan to Auckland, and on to the New Zealand cities of Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin, as well as from Brisbane to both Auckland and Christchurch. [FULL STORY]
