Airport promotions fly

Auckland Airport says it has five or six joint-venture promotion campaigns in the pipeline.

Chief executive Simon Moutter told the Trenz tourism conference in Auckland yesterday that the airport was promoting New Zealand tourism and trade with airlines, distribution partners and Government for the first time.

Two joint-venture marketing campaigns had begun, one involving a newspaper promotion in India with Malaysia Airlines and another with Emirates and a specialist winter holiday wholesaler, promoting NZ ski holidays.

"While we already have another five or six joint-venture campaigns in the pipeline, Auckland Airport is actively looking for more win-win opportunities with all our airline, trade and tourism customers to promote travel to New Zealand through Auckland."
