Down Under Answers & Air New Zealand
Air New Zealand’s story began in April 1940 when its forerunner airline, Tasman Empire Airways Limited (TEAL) was incorporated. TEAL began its first trans-Tasman services with flying boats, and over the years steadily expanded the size and scope of its operations and the extent of its international network. In December 1951, a flying boat service from Auckland via Fiji and the Cook Islands to Tahiti began - it was known as the “Coral Route”. Samoa became part of this route in 1952.
The route network was expanded from Australia and the Pacific to Asia, the USA, the UK and Europe. In October 1953 TEAL became jointly owned by the New Zealand and Australian Governments, and in April 1961 the New Zealand Government assumed full ownership. Thirteen years after TEAL was renamed Air New Zealand, Air New Zealand and NAC merged in April 1978, forming the first New Zealand carrier to offer both international and domestic services.
Air New Zealand is transforming its business to firmly put the customer at the front of all its processes, and Down Under Answers is proud to partner with such a phenomenal airline.
