It never resumed after covid as the financials were tough:

Air NZ bids hasta la vista to Argentina, delays New York direct service - NZ Herald

Customers should contact their travel agent or booking service.

With Air NZ also facing an aircraft shortage it's unlikely we'll see any new routes from them as well.

It's really odd, this is legitimately from Air NZ's website, you can google Air NZ flights to Bs As and it will take you to their website. But apart from that there's no advertisement or anything published anywhere. You can book flights from NZ to Argentina.

Just because it's an option on their website doesn't mean they don't sell connection journeys to EZE. In all cases it's an Air NZ operated flight to the US followed by a United flight to EZE.



Air New Zealand will sell you flights to Hyderabad India but doesn't mean they fly there, in some cases due to partnerships despite being booked via the Air NZ website and on Air NZ flight numbers you may never even step foot on an Air NZ aircraft, in the example below both flights are operated by Singapore Airlines:


It's worth noting that this is nothing new or unusual, Virgin Australia run ads to places like London where they don't fly and the Qantas magazine often features destinations that Qantas don't fly their own aircraft to.
