Covid 19 coronavirus: Masks needed on Air NZ flights out of Auckland

Air New Zealand is making mask wearing compulsory on all flights out of Auckland. For the duration of the change in alert levels, Air New Zealand's front of house employees and domestic cabin crew will wear masks and gloves, and pilots will wear masks when interacting with customers or walking through the terminal. Customers on flights departing from Auckland will be also be required to wear masks. They are welcome to bring their own, or these will be provided by the airline onboard. "Air New Zealand recommends that its customers traveling from other ports also wear masks, however this will not be a requirement." Jetstar says anyone travelling to/from Auckland during the next two and a half days and wishing to change their travel plans have a number of options available including an alternative flight in the next 14 days or a credit voucher. Jetstar says it may need to cancel some flights due to the level 3 restrictions. Where a domestic flight is cancelled, customers will be contacted directly with available options, which depending on the circumstances may include additional options. It says face masks are strongly recommended on all flights to and from Auckland.<br/>
