Air New Zealand says travellers will benefit from the latest extension to its joint venture with Singapore Airlines. 

The airlines have received approval to extend their partnership by another five years. 

The partnership has already been underway for a decade, with seat capacity growing by 50% in that time. 

Air New Zealand Chief Transformation and Alliances Officer Mike Williams told Mike Hosking that it allows them to provide more flying options. 

He says more seats will be available, which means lower prices.
