Flights between New Zealand and China are to double.

Transport Minister Simon Bridges says airlines from both countries will be able to offer 42 services per week, per country.

This is up from the previous limit of 21 per week.

Government officials negotiated the doubling of capacity at a conference in Indonesia last week.

Mr Bridges says the doubling of air services capacity represents another step in expanding tourism, trade and personal ties between the two countries.
