Air Tahiti Nui Reports 34% Increase in Sales Revenue ex-Australia

Air Tahiti Nui has reported a 34% increase in sales revenue from the Australian market for H1 2011.

With solid passenger numbers already being generated from Sydney and Melbourne, the airline is confident of even more growth in coming months, with the introduction of seasonal interline connections between Brisbane, Auckland and Tahiti.

“Tahiti is one of the world’s most romantic and idyllic destinations. Who doesn’t want to go there?” said Mark Hutchinson, General Manager Australasia for Air Tahiti Nui. “The combination of the strong Australian dollar and a series of attractive packages from key wholesalers have made the destination even more appealing. And from October excellent connectivity with both Qantas and Emirates on the Brisbane-Auckland route will make it easier to travel from Queensland to Tahiti. Both carriers’ flights link perfectly with our Auckland – Papeete services.”

From 30 October 2011 until 22 March 2012, flights from Brisbane with both partners will arrive in Auckland at 14:35, connecting with Air Tahiti Nui’s A340-300 aircraft departing to Tahiti at 15:50.

Air Tahiti Nui currently offers two departures each week from Sydney, on Sundays and Thursdays. Flight TN2102 – a codeshare service operated by Qantas –connects in Auckland with Air Tahiti Nui flight TN102. Flights cross the international dateline, and arrive in Papeete at 21:55 the previous evening. Return services depart Tahiti on Wednesdays and Saturdays, arriving in Sydney late afternoon every Thursday and Sunday.

Melbourne customers also enjoy convenient year-round options to and from Tahiti on the same days, flying with either Qantas or Emirates direct to Auckland to connect with Air Tahiti Nui’s Papeete flights.
