Air New Zealand Chief Operational Integrity and Safety Officer Captain David Morgan says the airline is closely monitoring the severity of the incoming storm and is making changes now to ensure the safety of its customers, staff and aircraft.
“We’re doing everything we can to minimise the impact on our schedule, however our top priority at this time is the safety and wellbeing of our customers and our people,” says Captain Morgan.
“Part of the preparation involves making changes ahead of the expected impact of the cyclone, so we can reposition crew and move our regional turbo prop aircraft to hangars or ports where they won’t be at risk of high winds. We’d like to thank customers for their understanding if their plans are impacted.”
