In-flight wifi FTW! #AirNZ #Aotearoa #travel

Hey, I'm on an AirNZ domestic flight using wifi. It's a "trial", they explained. Seems to work anyway. The aircraft is an ATR72, not one of the fancy jet aircraft.

Current status, still in koru lounge 6 hours later for a once cancelled, now adritonally delayedz rebook3d flight... Unlikely to actually make the event tonight at 8pm at this stage. We are back 7am tomorrow morning ... SMH #airnz
Strikemaster taking off from #Wellington . Unlike our scheduled flight to Auckland on #airnz which has been cancelled :-/
There's a difference between running an airline and running a country. Moreover, the govt spent $885 million bailing out #airNZ in 2022, but there is nobody except large foreign multinationals willing to do so when you run a country into the ground. The multinationals do so without public interest at heart. #nzpol

Six Air New Zealand international flight attendants claimed they were unjustifiably dismissed when they refused to take the Covid-19 vaccine.

The Employment Relations Authority has just said 'Nah.' They fell within a group who were required to be vaccinated in accordance with the July 2021 Covid-19 Public Health Response Order.

"The applicants had not established grounds for personal grievances for unjustified dismissal."

Group of Air NZ flight attendants lose Covid-19 vaccination fight

The group of six was dismissed in 2021 when they did not meet the statutory Covid-19 vaccination requirements of the time.

@billbennett #Airnz takes a backward step. Not great for NZ's clean green image.

Air New Zealand pulls the plug on 2030 climate targets

The airline says the new aircraft and alternative jet fuels are hard to get and are expensive, and it will work on a new target.

More #airnz woes NZ283 from #Singapore last night cancelled due to engineering issues. People on it now shuttled through to brisbane, de-plane, then #Auckland, and finally #Wellington. My partner who I haven't seen since March, is on that plane:-/
