Special flights for New Zealand cherries

 

 

 

Singapore Airlines is planning several journey, each carrying up to 95 tons of fruit on the Christchurch-Singapore route, for the distribution to markets in Southeast and North Asia. The airline plans to carry approximately 300 tonnes of cherries and other festive products, such as lobster and crayfish. Other cargoes of cherries will also be carried on board passenger flights.

 

 

 

The production of cherries in New Zealand should be very satisfactory. Professionals do not anticipate rainfall until 28 January (Chinese New Year) and plan to export about 50 million NZD (33 million euros) worth of cherries this year.
