flag Air New Zealand cancels 1,100 flights due to high fuel costs from Middle East conflict, affecting 44,000 travelers.

flag Air New Zealand is canceling over 1,100 flights due to soaring fuel costs tied to the Middle East conflict and disrupted oil flows, affecting up to 44,000 travelers. flag Passengers may be entitled to refunds or compensation for additional expenses, up to 10 times their ticket price or actual costs, if they decline rebooking. flag While airlines aren’t required to refund due to financial pressures, the cancellations are considered operational, not uncontrollable disruptions. flag Travel insurance typically doesn’t cover war-related issues. flag Consumer NZ urges travelers to verify contact details and warns against accepting travel credits, as high fuel prices may keep fares elevated. flag The government is considering rules to require airlines to clearly communicate passenger rights during disruptions.
