Air NZ's Dreamliner disruption: list of cancelled flights grows

Air NZ has released details of dozens of cancelled and re-timed international flights due to Dreamliner engine problems. Fifteen flights have been scrubbed during the next week due to unforeseen maintenance required by safety regulators worried about parts of some Rolls-Royce Trent engines used on Boeing 787s around the world. Additional flights have been added to the growing list over the course of the day. The airline says that if passengers had been affected by one of the cancellations and booked directly with Air New Zealand, there was no need to get in touch with the airline's contact centre. "We will send through a new e-ticket with your new flight details once you have been rebooked. If you have booked through a Travel Agent, please reach out to them directly to find out your new travel details,'' the airline said. Dozens of flights throughout the network have been re-timed or are being operated by different aircraft. The airline advises passengers on re-timed flights that if they miss their connecting flight, they will be rebooked onto the next available service. The airline has previously estimated 6500 passengers are affected.<br/>
