Air NZ to fly to Chengdu?

[Mattg]

This article on Air New Zealand's recent long-haul growth suggests that Chengdu, China could be on the cards as Air NZ's next new destination.

Air New Zealand has been on a long haul growth streak, opening five destinations since 2015. Manila was most recently announced and Chengdu could be next, once again giving Air NZ two destinations in mainland China after exiting Beijing. Chengdu as a destination – or another city – would mean that Air New Zealand would serve more points in Asia than Qantas.
