Air New Zealand and Flight Centre Travel Group have signed a long-term strategic partnership agreement designed to “create mutual opportunities for both parties to grow their global revenue position across New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada and the UK.”

The three-year agreement was signed in Brisbane by Air New Zealand chief executive officer Christopher Luxon and Flight Centre Travel Group chief executive officer Graham Turner.

Luxon says the partnership seeks to build deeper sales and market development opportunities in addition to improving alignment with tourism board marketing opportunities.

“In addition to growing capacity and improving our operating efficiencies, partnerships with like-minded industry leaders are crucial to our success. Flight Centre brings unique, innovative propositions to our key markets and is the ideal partner for us to increase awareness and familiarity of our global network,” said Luxon.
