Air NZ exploring gender options for 'non-binary' passengers

As US airlines move to add more gender options for "non-binary" travellers booking tickets, Air NZ has announced it is also working on similar plans. The airline said it was "currently exploring how we can introduce non-binary gender options across our various digital environments." It's a move in line with airlines in the US, who are on track to add new gender options for "non-binary" people, who identify outside of male or female options. Currently when booking online with Air NZ, gender is not a required field, but only male and female are listed as options. Passengers are required to include a title on their bookings, most of which are gendered. A spokeswoman for the airline said "diversity and inclusion" were "hugely important" to the organisation and they hoped to implement similar measures as the US airlines. <br/>
