Air NZ issues Cyclone Cook travel warning

Weather conditions are set to cause significant disruption to flight operations across New Zealand today, a warning from Air New Zealand’s PR team has said.

Due to the forecast storm conditions, the NZ carrier is advising customers to expect delays and cancellations across its network.

Air New Zealand has suspended operations at Tauranga Airport until further notice and expects to be unable to operate to and from a number of North Island airports as the afternoon progresses.

The airline will monitor weather conditions and customers booked to travel are advised to consult the arrivals and departures information on the Air New Zealand website here for up to date schedule information.

Air NZ strongly recommend customers booked to travel today ensure they are subscribed to Air New Zealand’s Travel Alert service to receive updates about the status of their flights.

Air New Zealand is offering fare flexibility for customers no longer wishing to travel, details are available here.

Due to the significant nature of this weather event and the likely disruption to the national roading network, Air New Zealand will not provide road transport options today for passengers whose travel is disrupted.

Cyclone Cook has already proved volatile in the Pacific Islands, causing Aircalin and Air Vanuatu to reschedule and cancel flights, while a couple of cruise ships were forced to skip certain ports of call.
