Air New Zealand will cut its Tasman capacity by 80 per cent for three months in response to new travel restrictions and slumping demand.
These changes follow yesterday's announcement on capacity reductions and will take effect from March 30 through to June 30. These dates may change if demand reduces further. Overall, Tasman capacity will reduce by 80 percent over this period.
