From 1 November 2025, Air New Zealand will restart its direct service between Auckland and Nouméa, offering one flight per week every Saturday.
This long-awaited return marks an important milestone for New Caledonia’s tourism recovery, particularly in the New Zealand market, historically one of the destination’s top three international sources.
The decision follows the official easing of the New Zealand Government’s travel advisory, boosting confidence among travellers and industry partners alike.
