Mayor unhappy with Tokyo flight cancellation

Air New Zealand's decision to ditch its last remaining long-haul flight from Christchurch has been called wrong.

The national airline will pull out of its seasonal Tokyo to Christchurch service later this year, instead concentrating on the Auckland direct flight.

Christchurch Deputy Mayor Vicki Buck says the move is beyond belief.

"This is a profitable service, and it's actually been growing in recent times, so why they are cancelling what is the last remaining long-haul flight from Christchurch, we don't know."

"It makes no sense to us."
