Air New Zealand is implementing a range of pricing and capacity changes amid high cost of fuel and changes in demand.
The price of domestic airfares will rise by an average 4% as will international airfares sold in New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
Domestic and short haul international increases are effective from June 16 with long haul expected from June 20.
Air New Zealand will also reduce services by one per week between Japan and New Zealand during the lower demand months of September, October (from nine to eight per week) and November (from 12 to 11 per week).
It is also removing the two-times per week Auckland-Hong Kong service operated seasonally during December and January. Hong Kong will continue to be serviced with its daily Boeing 747-400 operating Auckland – London via Hong Kong.
As a result of continued strong passenger demand, from October several Auckland – San Francisco services per week will be upgraded from a 313 seat 777-200 to a 379 seat 747-400.
On the Tasman, capacity is also being reviewed during the months of low demand.
