Anz Drops Singapore，降级伦敦 - 拉奥克兰服务

新西兰空气将停止在下秋季开始在新加坡和奥克兰之间的有用环节。与此同时，航空公司表示，它将通过洛杉矶从波音747到较小的波音777将其日常伦敦转换为奥克兰服务。

经济原因促使星空联盟成员下跌新加坡，从10月2日开始。航空公司的首席执行官，Bob Fyfe.解释说：“北亚航线代表了比东南亚更大的增长前景，这些前景已经由国际航空公司服务。”

Anz表示，它的大部分乘客飞往新加坡都与其他航班联系起来，因为承运人必须与其他航空公司分享收入而无利可图。根据ed sims.那ANZ’s group general manager, "Only 5% of our passengers are bound for Singapore itself. The vast majority are transferring for destinations in the Northern Hemisphere. Most of these passengers can be served by taking ANZ's flight to Hong Kong,” which connects with other Star Alliance members’ services and will be extended to London from Oct. 29. In place of Singapore, ANZ will be launching a new service to Shanghai on Nov. 6.

The plane switch on the London to Auckland via Los Angeles service can be interpreted as a downgrade as well as another cost-saving measure.ANZ's 777s are newer planes, but discerning premium passengers claim they don’t offer the same ambience as the 747. The 747’s two unique features, its upper deck and zone A in the aircraft’s “nose,” are absent on the 777 (ANZ accommodates its 747 premium passengers in these two zones). For passengers spending 24 hours on the plane, such differences are real. The 777 is also fitted with fewer premium seats. ANZ will lose 20 seats in business and 13 seats in premium economy.

FYFE说，“B777”捍卫了他使用777的决定，“B777已经让我们对市场上不同需求的右尺寸飞机的灵活性。目前的燃料价格和我们专注于优化燃料使用，在这条路线上使用更多的燃油效率B777是有意义的。“

747将于10月29日开始转向伦敦伦敦（通过香港）服务。这是为了成为欧洲承运人的旗舰服务。如前所述，伦敦 - 港 - 奥克兰路线预计会更受欢迎，因为乘客越来越不愿通过持续的安全检查来过境我们。
