Air New Zealand cancels more domestic flights into December

Air New Zealand is cancelling domestic flights into early December citing alert level uncertainty but travellers say flights still in the system are much more expensive. One customer said the airline was "currently doing mass cancellations" of domestic flights in three weeks time, at a time when many university students are on the move. The airline said this afternoon it had made the call that travel in and out of Auckland was unlikely before December 6 so had cancelled flights to give customers more time to re-plan their travel at a future date when flying was more likely. At alert levels 3 and 4, flights out of Auckland are limited to a skeleton service for essential workers but there has been no announcement on when the restrictions will be lifted.<br/>
