The new service deepens the alliance between Air New Zealand and United Airlines and follows Air New Zealand’s successful launch of non-stop flights to United’s hub in Chicago in November 2018.
Air New Zealand will fly the route three times weekly, year-round, under its flagship flight numbers NZ1 southbound and NZ2 northbound. The service will be operated by Air New Zealand’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft in its latest, premium-focused configuration.
From its East Coast gateway at Newark Liberty International Airport, United Airlines operates more than 400 daily flights across the United States. The new service between Auckland and Newark will also provide customers with convenient onward connections to more than 90 destinations across the United States.
New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world with its iconic landmarks, galleries, museums, Broadway shows and food scene placing it top of many travellers’ bucket lists.
Flights will arrive into and depart from Terminal B at Newark Liberty International Airport.
The above timings are subject to approvals and will vary with daylight saving time.

North American services include non-stop flights to New Zealand from Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Honolulu, and most recently, Chicago.
With flights departing early in the evening and arriving into Auckland early in the morning, Air New Zealand’s convenient overnight service allows for same-day connections to 20 domestic New Zealand destinations and eight Australian ports. Los Angeles also operates non-stop to the Cook Islands and London.
