Qantas aims to lift the market share of its Jetstar subsidiary in New Zealand (NZ) by offering flights to regional cities, where Air NZ is the dominant carrier. Jetstar NZ currently boasts a market share of 20.5 per cent and only provides flights between the nation’s major cities. Cam Wallace of Air NZ is not fazed by the Qantas move, noting that the carrier had been expecting it and is well placed to compete on regional routes.
