Air NZ axes HK to London

Stuff reports:

Air New Zealand is axing flights between Hong Kong and London in a bid to recover profits.

The service will be cut from March next year after a review found it was not likely to become profitable in the foreseeable future, the airline says.

Aaargh, this means if you want to fly to London on Air NZ, you need to fly via the US. A pity, as I much prefer flying via HK.

I wonder if at some stage Air NZ will scrap LA or SF to London also, and concentrate on Asia and Pacific only?
