Australia is Air&nbsp;New&nbsp;Zealand&#8217;s largest international market and before COVID-19, at peak times we operated around 375 flights a week across the Tasman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;While we&#8217;re down to a handful of international services and a fraction of our domestic flying for essential travel and cargo, we&#8217;ve been overwhelmed by messages of support and care from customers. Thank you Australia, and New Zealand, for continuing to put your faith in us. Our Air&nbsp;New&nbsp;Zealand family can&#8217;t wait to welcome you on board again, when we can.&#8221;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Executive Officer for The RepTrak Company Kylie Wright-Ford says the high esteem in which Australians and New Zealanders hold Air&nbsp;New&nbsp;Zealand will stand the airline in good stead as it continues to navigate the ongoing COVID-19 disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In times of crisis and uncertainty, having a consistently excellent reputation &#8211; as Air&nbsp;New&nbsp;Zealand does &#8211; is invaluable. Based on more than 20 years of providing data and actionable insights to companies globally we know people will continue to support companies that have stronger reputations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further commentary on the RepTrak Australia and New Zealand rankings is available\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reptrak.com\/media\/2020-press-releases\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Email:\u00a0<\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"mailto:media@airnz.co.nz\" target=\"_blank\">media@airnz.co.nz<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1168\" height=\"826\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Air-New-ZealandBest-Awards-2017Best-Effect02-0-1172-0-826.jpg?fit=640%2C453\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8033\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Air-New-ZealandBest-Awards-2017Best-Effect02-0-1172-0-826.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Air-New-ZealandBest-Awards-2017Best-Effect02-0-1172-0-826-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Air-New-ZealandBest-Awards-2017Best-Effect02-0-1172-0-826-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Air-New-ZealandBest-Awards-2017Best-Effect02-0-1172-0-826-768x543.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1168px) 100vw, 1168px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quiet skies haven&#8217;t stopped Aussies sharing their love for the Kiwi airline, making it four consecutive years Air New Zealand has topped The RepTrak Company&#8217;s annual reputation ranking in Australia.
