Under the alliance Air New Zealand will continue to operate daily between Auckland and Shanghai, while Air China will operate this new service between Auckland and Beijing from December 10, 2015, bossting air capacity between Auckland and Mainland China by more than 25 per cent year round.

According to Andrew Harrison, London Stansted Airport’s managing director, the new route will give the UK and businesses in the eastern region in particular, new direct access to Chinese markets and its launch represents the culmination of several years of working with the airline and their partners to deliver the new service.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has signalled it may block Qantas Airways’ proposed joint venture with China Eastern.

Potential future non-stop flights to Guangzhou from Birmingham will be possible thanks to an investment by Birmingham Airport to extend its runway to enable longer haul flights.

China Southern Airlines has announced it is to operate twice-daily flights between Auckland and Guangzhou from August 1, 2015.

Air travel is set to flourish over the next week in the Asia Pacific region, with Chinese New Year just around the corner.

The airline has commenced operations to three new freighter destinations including Lagos, Accra and Guangzhou.

9 Air was established earlier this year as a subsidiary of privately-owned Juneyao Airlines. It is the third low-cost carrier to operate in China after Spring Airlines and China West Air and plans to offer fares priced at 9 yuan, 99 yuan, 199 yuan and 299 yuan, meaning its cheapest fares will be the equivalent of $1.50.
