Air Zealand is planning to buy up to 12 planes at a cost of up to USD$270 million for its domestic fleet, the airline said on Wednesday.
Air NZ said it will buy seven new ATR72-600 planes from France's Aerospatiale with options on another five to upgrade its fleet used on short haul domestic routes.
The carrier, which has a near monopoly on most secondary domestic routes, currently uses ATR72-500 turboprop, Bombardier Q300, and Beechcraft 1900D planes on regional services.
It uses Boeing 737-300 and Airbus A320 aircraft on flights between the main cities, where it competes with Qantas budget offshoot JetStar.
Shares in Air NZ, nearly three-quarters owned by the New Zealand government, last traded up 1 percent at NZD$1.06.
On Tuesday the airline confirmed that it was pressing on with acquiring Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes, despite production delays which have seen its arrival delayed until 2014.

P.S Grandi tempi per ATR. Alla fine non tutto va male in Italia. Il conzorzio e una prova
