Consultation on the Air New Zealand – United Airlines Authorisation Application

The Ministry is accepting submissions on an authorisation application received from Air New Zealand and United Airlines.

Air New Zealand and United Airlines have submitted an application for authorisation of a Side Agreement to the Alliance Expansion Agreement previously entered into between the applicants and authorised by the Ministry of Transport in 2002.

If authorised, the Side Agreement would remove Carve-outs in the 2002 authorisation that prevent price co-ordination between the applicants on certain New Zealand to Los Angeles point-of-sale fares.

If you would like to submit your views on the proposed amendment, please provide them by email to airservices@transport.govt.nz by 5.00 pm on Friday 5 August 2016.
