Air New Zealand is adjusting its domestic network as the country prepares to enter alert level 3.
The airline will operate a limited domestic schedule for air freight and essential travel from April 28.
Air New Zealand networks general manager Scott Carr says travel still remains very restricted under alert level 3.
“We have made some slight adjustments to our domestic schedule in the coming weeks and that includes adding several services a week between Auckland and Napier and Auckland and Tauranga.
“We’ll also be adding additional capacity between Christchurch and Dunedin with flights in and out of Dunedin across the week,” he says.
Before making a booking, customers are reminded to check the latest information on the travel and transportation section of the Government COVID-19 website and the COVID-19 hub on the Air New Zealand website.
