Air New Zealand was the third most punctual airline in the Asia‑Pacific region in September, achieving 87.3% of flights arriving within 15 minutes of schedule and operating 13,072 flights during the month.
A pre‑staging general boarding trial on international flights from Auckland reduced boarding delays by around 45% and allowed boarding to begin just under four minutes earlier, while the same trial on domestic jet services from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch cut boarding‑related delays by about 25%; the process has been approved for departures at all New Zealand airports since the beginning of October.
