Mango Communications appointed to handle public relations for Qantas in New Zealand
Qantas today announced the appointment of Mango Communications as its public relations agency in New Zealand.
Mango will handle public relations, media relations and events for Qantas, working closely with the airline’s teams in Auckland and Sydney and drawing on its considerable experience in aviation and travel industry communications.
Qantas’ regional general manager for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, Rohan Garnett, said Mango would be a strong partner for Qantas in one of its most important markets.
Says Garnett: “Qantas has served New Zealand for over 50 years. Today we operate over 200 flights over the Tasman each week and give New Zealanders access to Qantas’ extensive domestic and international network.
We have a clear focus on the premium market and part of Mango’s role will be to help strengthen Qantas’ reputation as the leader for trans-Tasman business travel. Mango will also play an important role in publicising Qantas’ community activities and sponsorships in New Zealand.”
Mango New Zealand’s managing director Claudia Macdonald said she was thrilled to be appointed.
Says Macdonald: “Qantas is one of those brands you dream about working with. There is so much more to the Qantas story in New Zealand than has been told in recent years and we’re very much looking forward to partnering with them. It’s very exciting.”
Mango Communications joins a global roster of PR agencies representing Qantas in Europe, the United States and across Asia.

Dream PR client, for sure.
The first thing Mango needs to spin for Qantas is why they fly their godawful 20 year old antiques across the Tasman to us Kiwis.
My recent flight with Qantas was the first time in ten years I’ve seen the entertainment screen as a mid aisle drop-down screen only. Needed an eye-test and glasses after all the squinting on that flight.
