Passenger Flights
Our passenger flights carry Cargo in the bellyholds. Air New Zealand's aircraft fleet for international services consists of B737-300, A320, B767-300, B777-200 and B747-400. However, on our passenger flights, there are size restrictions for accepting Cargo. To be safe, you should not plan on shipping any piece that exceeds 64 in. (161 cm.) in height, 120 in. (302 cm.) in length, and 86 in. (216 cm.) in width as Cargo. (See container types for exact specifications.) All passenger aircraft have temperature controls in our pressurised Cargo hold to accommodate a wide variety of general and specialised Cargo. This includes live animals, dangerous goods, and foodstuffs.
