Background ✨
Air New Zealand made adjustments to its schedule from Jan-2025 to Mar-2025 due to "ongoing global issues" affecting its fleet, allowing customers to receive full refunds for flight cancellations without alternative options1. Additionally, from Feb-2025 to Jun-2025, the airline reduced its domestic network by 2% due to high operating costs and decreased demand, particularly from corporate and government clients, as stated by GM Domestic Scott Carr2.
