Air New Zealand cancels flights as it struggles to find planes and crew

Air New Zealand will cut its planned schedule and operate 1.5% fewer seats than originally planned during the next six months, says NZ Herald. The airline says it is taking proactive measures to protect customers’ travel plans as sickness continues to cause disruption. Air New Zealand chief executive Greg Foran said making these changes now, gives customers advance notice and will help the airline provide a service that’s more reliable during its rebuild.
