Accommodation New Zealand introduces
Air New Zealand Cargo is once again helping Kiwi exporters deliver the best of New Zealand produce to the world this holiday season.
The airline is set to move a huge 5 million kilograms of cargo through December and January, with a large proportion of that set to end up on Christmas dinner tables around the globe.
Air New Zealand General Manager of Cargo Anne Dunne, says we have an exceptional fresh produce market in Aotearoa and itﾃδ｢ﾃやぎﾃや┐s a privilege to connect their high-quality products with global markets, especially at this time of year.
Cherries are especially popular in Asia during the weeks leading up to Chinese New Year, a time when theyﾃδ｢ﾃやぎﾃや┐re considered a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and family unity.
The airline will support exporters from across Aotearoa to move up to 1 million kilograms of cherries to key export markets like Taipei, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, as well as smaller shipments to North America.
Through partnerships with other airlines, New Zealandﾃδ｢ﾃやぎﾃや┐s sought-after cherries also make their way to Vietnam.
As well as cherries, Air New Zealand Cargo works with farmers to help deliver New Zealandﾃδ｢ﾃやぎﾃや┐s renowned grass-fed meat to key export markets just in time for Christmas.
ﾃδ｢ﾃやぎﾃで溺uch of the exports have already made their way to markets like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Zurich.
Seafood is also a hot commodity this Christmas with 1.3 billion kilograms of seafood annually heading across the Tasman to Australia. Salmon, tuna, and shellfish are some of the catch-of-the-day delicacies winging their way across the ditch.
