However, it has limited the cancellations on trans-Tasman and Pacific Island services by replacing long-haul aircraft with short-haul aircraft on some routes. "We are focused on minimising disruption for our customers and ensuring New Zealand remains connected to the world," Air NZ said. "We have completed contingency planning and through some adjustments and increased flying on some of our aircraft, we have worked hard to protect travel across our Tasman and Pacific Island network and there will be no impact to our domestic and regional services." The Star Alliance member said passengers impacted were rebooked on alternative services or offered refunds.
