Wamos Air experience

We're welcoming back Wamos Air to support select services between Auckland and Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti, Tokyo and Bali during a busy travel period. Here's what to expect.

From 30 October 2025 to 30 April 2026, Wamos Air will operate select routes on our behalf using their own Airbus A330-300 aircraft, crew and pilots. This is a short-term, proactive measure that will help us deliver our schedule during a busy travel period and ensure we get our customers to where they need to go.
