Question: where does ba fly to in new zealand

title: Air New Zealand
text: In 2000 , Air New Zealand announced that it had chosen instead to acquire the entirety of Ansett Australia ( increasing its 50 % stake in the carrier to 100 % ) for A $680 million from News Corporation Ltd . Business commentators believe this to have been a critical mistake , as Ansett 's fleet , staffing levels and infrastructure far outweighed that of Air New Zealand . Subsequently , both carriers ' profitability came under question , and foreign offers to purchase the Air New Zealand Group were considered . In September 2001 , plagued by costs it could not possibly afford , the Air New Zealand / Ansett Group neared collapse . A failed attempt at purchasing Virgin Blue was the final straw , and on 12 September , out of both time and cash , Air New Zealand placed Ansett Australia into voluntary administration , following which Ansett was forced to cease operations . Air New Zealand announced a NZ $1.425 billion operating loss .
