Air NZ cuts flights to Australia by 80% as coronavirus bites
Air NZ will cut its Tasman capacity by 80% for 3 months in response to new travel restrictions and slumping demand. These changes follow Monday's announcement on capacity reductions and will take effect from March 30 through to June 30. These dates may change if demand reduces further. Overall, Tasman capacity will reduce by 80% over this period. The airline will also park many of its Boeing 777s over the next few months, doing most of its restricted international flying with more efficient Dreamliner aircraft. The airline has 8 777-300s with an average age of 8 years and the same number of 777-200s which are 13 years old on average. It has 14 Dreamliners. Monday the airline - which is facing a battle for survival - announced it would cut long haul routes by 85% and domestic flying by 30%. <br/>
