China Eastern Airlines and AirAsia X
Two Asian airlines have joined the list of strange airlines flying between Auckland and Sydney. China Eastern recently began operating AKL to SYD on the triangle route between Hangzhou, Auckland and Sydney on November 6th. The carrier runs twice a week in either direction.
AirAsia fans have only a few weeks left to enjoy the airline’s low-cost flights to Sydney, with the airline’s A330 now offering flights from AKL-SYD to Kuala Lumpur via Gold Coast (OOL) instead. Are considering. AirAsia’s daily flights to Sydney will end at the end of January.
