Effect of air services availability on international visitors to New Zealand

Author

  • Duval, David Timothy
  • Schiff, Aaron

Abstract

We examine the effects of discrete changes in the availability of direct air services on the number of international visitor arrivals to New Zealand. We consider five different countries of origin and control for GDP and exchange rates. The results are mixed, suggesting that regional hubs and robust third-country carriers provide sufficient airlift for many visitors from countries without direct air services to New Zealand. We outline the resulting implications for international air services policy.
