Air New Zealand has extended its long-running travel partnership with the New Zealand Warriors through to the end of 2028, taking the relationship to 33 years since it began in the club’s inaugural 1995 season.
The airline supports the travel demands of the Warriors’ six teams competing across Australian-based rugby league competitions, with players and staff making 54 return trans-Tasman trips each season covering more than 237,000 kilometres.
Air New Zealand chief customer and digital officer Jeremy O’Brien said the Warriors unite the country each week and require more travel than any other NRL side, while Warriors chief commercial officer Glenn Harris said the airline’s support remains essential to managing the club’s extensive logistics across New Zealand and Australia.
