Air New Zealand wishes to advise, in preparation for strong fluctuating crosswinds over the coming days and for the safety of our staff and customers, Auckland international arrivals and departures from tomorrow morning through till midday Tuesday will be extremely limited.
In summary:
- All flights to or from Kerikeri and Whangarei between midday today and Tuesday morning are cancelled
- All domestic jet services into, out of, or through Auckland tomorrow cancelled
- All turboprop flights to, from or through Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Taupo from midday today through to midday Tuesday are cancelled
- Last flights into Hamilton and Tauranga tonight are cancelled
- Five long-haul international arrivals into Auckland on Monday are cancelled – New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Singapore still operating
- Long-haul international departures from Auckland on Monday are cancelled
- All Tasman and Island flights tomorrow are cancelled
These schedule adjustments will cause significant flow on effects while the airline works through getting customers on those services to their original destinations and crew and planes back where they need to be. This may take a few days to recover.
To quickly reaccommodate customers once normal operations resume, Air New Zealand is already exploring use of larger aircraft and increasing capacity to destinations that need it the most.
Impacted customers wishing to make a change to their flight have flexibility as per our Cyclone Gabrielle flexibility policy.
Please do not advise passengers travel to the airport – staff at the airport are unable to rebook customers.
For the most up to date flight information please refer to the arrivals and departures page
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience during this time.
