Cut-throat price war on Tasman air routes

[Gerald A]

Some Air New Zealand fares across the Tasman will drop by an average of 15 per cent as cut-throat competition on the route heats up.

Internet fares will drop by more than $100 on Air NZ flights from the middle of next month.

Pacific Blue, soon to begin new services from Auckland to Sydney and Melbourne, said yesterday that it "would probably" drop its fares even further in response.
