A business class cabin and service will still exist on flights to and from Auckland using wide bodied aircraft and flying at peak times when business travelers may still demand additional service.The carrier conveys that many companies that allow staff to fly business class on international flights consider the trans-Tasman service alike to a domestic flight and demand for seats at the pointy end has fallen markedly since the Global Financial Crisis hit.

Group GM short haul airline, Bruce Parton stated that for more than a year, Air NZ has had a team obtaining an improved understanding of what customers crave in these exceedingly spirited markets and the innovative changes that is being introduced are based on the feedback from customers.
