New Zealand's flag carrier and largest airline has released a travel alert, following the proposed industrial action expected by cabin crew on December 5. Currently, Air New Zealand has been notified by unions E tū and FAANZ (Flight Attendants' Association of New Zealand Incorporated) that represent thousands of the airline's cabin crew of their intention to strike.
Strike action is currently proposed to affect the carrier's regional fleets (De Havilland Canada Dash 8-300 and ATR 72-600) between 05:00 am and 11:00 pm on December 8, which may cripple the airline's extensive domestic network. These aircraft are responsible for offering key flights from Auckland Airport , Wellington Airport , and Christchurch to other smaller New Zealand cities. Domestic and internationa
