Air New Zealand General Manager Networks Scott Carr says travel 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." 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.
For the Tauranga and Napier flights - is that three flights a day on Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday (which seems like overkill) or does the 3x mean 3 days a week?
