Air New Zealand said on Wednesday it would suspend its Christchurch-Los Angeles service during the off-peak season due to lack of passenger demand.
The airline said it would halt its twice weekly non-stop service between April and October but would maintain its daily services from Auckland.
Air NZ slimmed down to a no-frills domestic service in 2002, cut costs on its services to and from Australia, and is upgrading its long-haul fleet as part of a recovery from near-collapse in 2001.
The 82 percent government-owned company, hit by a sharp rise in fuel prices, announced last month that it would outsource its heavy maintenance engine work with the loss of 110 jobs.
