[FONT=sueca_hd_regular]NZ running scared:
Air New Zealand, which is locked in a fierce battle with Qantas Airways on two fronts, is seeking to delay a co-ordinated increase in capacity from Qantas and American Airlines on the trans-Pacific route beyond the planned peak season start in December.[/FONT]
[FONT=sueca_hd_regular]Qantas has placed severe pressure on Air NZ by announcing the launch of Jetstar services to regional cities in New Zealand and through a deeper alliance with American.[/FONT]
[FONT=sueca_hd_regular]The alliance will lead to Qantas resuming services on the Sydney-San Francisco route and American adding daily flights from Sydney to Los Angeles, resulting in a 9 per cent increase in capacity between Australia and the mainland United States. The partners have also flagged plans to fly from Auckland to Los Angeles as early as next year, in a move that would break Air NZ's highly lucrative monopoly on flights between New Zealand and the mainland US.
