Direct flights between San Francisco and New Zealand airports

Arrivals: International flights landing in a New Zealand port.
Departures: International flights leaving a New Zealand port.

Flights are only counted if at least one individual on the flight is recorded as an arrival or a departure.
Although most flights are scheduled commercial services, the numbers may also include charter services, private aircraft, cargo aircraft and other special flights.
Flights may visit more than one overseas port, and will be counted under each. Hence, the sum across overseas ports may differ from the total number of flights.

From March 2020 to July 2022, the New Zealand government implemented measures to protect New Zealanders from the COVID-19 virus, effectively limiting travel to and from New Zealand

Note: the 2023 data for countries with small samples is subject to high level of misclassification error and should be disregarded.

Please note that flights which stop elsewhere on route to/from New Zealand are considered as 'direct flights' when the flight number and aircraft do not change during the layover (e.g. from/to Dubai via Australia, London, etc).
