With Kiwis keen to travel to the Cook Islands, Air New Zealand has added extra flights to provide 11 flights per week, from 16 August 2021, between Auckland and Rarotonga, up from nine per week the airline is currently operating. This will increase to 12 flights per week over the October school holidays.
“We want to help as many Kiwis as possible get away for a much-needed break, so it’s great we have been able to add more than 11,000 additional seats to our schedule to meet the increased demand,” says Air New Zealand chief customer & sales officer, Leanne Geraghty.
“Not only is this great for the airline, with tourism being the mainstay of the Cook Islands economy, it’s fantastic that we can deliver more New Zealanders than ever to the island nation to help support their post-pandemic recovery.
Customers will be required to wear masks on board flights to and from Rarotonga, and additional screening questions will be asked at check-in. To be eligible to travel, customers will need to have been in New Zealand for the preceding 14 days.
