Hi all,

I heard whispers that VA was reuniting with Air New Zealand, does anyone know when that may be?

Was supposed to be a proposed decision on VA selling NZ tickets from both the ACCC and NZCC at the end of last month. It's been deferred until end of April.

Its not on all routes tho, only Aus - NZ.
So, if you for eg, wanted or needed to get to Canada/US, its still better to fly AC/UA.

And it's not likely to extend to the USA routes in the foreseeable future etc in the future when VA has UA and AC.
