Key regional airlines said on Wednesday that they intended to keep flying to New Zealand, which is beginning to curtail jet fuel after a recent cargo failed regulatory tests.
According to Cath O’Brien, an official with a national panel of airline representatives, jet fuel supplies at the country’s major airport in Auckland will be reduced to 75% of projected allocations.
However, national carrier Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines ruled out quick schedule modifications, as did an executive of another large regional airline who requested anonymity due to a lack of media authorization.
‘We understand how critical it is to get our customers throughout our network in the run-up to Christmas, and our staff is working hard to ensure we will continue,’ said David Morgan, the national carrier’s chief safety officer.
