Air New Zealand domestic airfares are at an all-time high.
Stats NZ data shows the airline's domestic flight prices have gone up by 7% last month compared to January.
The Airport Association is pushing for a policy to monitor the domestic monopoly as they dictate price, routes, and flight schedules.
Matthew Bolland, Air NZ’s Corporate Affairs Officer, told Mike Hosking that the increase is comparing apples with pears.
In January people were flying for the holidays, while February people were flying for business purposes, he said.
Bolland told Hosking that if you want a better comparison, you’d look at the average ticket price compared to the year before, which only had a 2% increase.
