American’s vice president of DFW operations, Jim Moses, said that “offering service to Auckland from DFW means that customers from practically everywhere in the globe can connect to New Zealand with one simple stop here, and vice versa.”
” New Zealand’s connectivity has never been better, and the DFW flight will make it even simpler for Americans to go there.
According to Sarah Handley, general manager for the Americas and Europe at Tourism New Zealand, it is a wonderful chance to demonstrate our manaakitanga (hospitality, kindness, and respect) as they tour our beautiful nation and enjoy everything that New Zealand has to offer, according to Sarah Handley, general manager for the Americas and Europe at Tourism New Zealand.
