2Air New Zealand
Founded in 1940 as Tasman Empire Airways Limited, the airline became owned by the government in 1965, when New Zealand officials merged TEAL with the New Zealand National Airways Corporation into one airline renamed Air New Zealand. Headquartered in Auckland, ANZ offers flights to 31 international and 20 domestic locations in 19 countries in the Americas, Asia, the South Pacific, the UK and across the Pacific Rim. Kudos are given for the service, comfort, and overall value. And the winner is . . .
