Air New Zealand is further reducing capacity across its network as coronavirus reduces demand for travel.
The airline has placed itself into a trading halt today to allow it time to more fully assess the operational and financial impacts of global travel restrictions.
On its long-haul network Air New Zealand will be reducing its capacity by 85% over the coming months and will operate a minimal schedule to allow Kiwis to return home and to keep trade corridors with Asia and North America open. Full details of this schedule will be advised in the coming days.
Among the long-haul network capacity reductions, the airline can advise it is suspending flights between Auckland and Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Tokyo Narita, Honolulu, Denpasar and Taipei from March 30 to June 30. It is also suspending its London-Los Angeles service from this week through to June.
