Possible aviation fuel restrictions
You may be aware of media reports relating to aviation fuel shortages.
We'd like to reassure you that we are working closely with our fuel partners to understand the challenges being faced at Marsden Point and how they will affect our fuel supply.
At this stage there are no changes to our current schedule. We know how important it is to get our customers around our network in the lead up to Christmas and our team are working hard to ensure we will continue to do that.
Getting in touch with us 💜
We continue to receive an extremely high number of calls, messages, and emails, which is greatly affecting our response time.
If you prefer to contact us via one of our messaging channels, we ask that you provide as much information as possible when reaching out. If your query is about an upcoming or recently travelled booking, please also include your booking reference or ticket number.
Due to current incoming volumes, we do not recommend using a messaging channel if you require urgent assistance.
Thank you for your continued patience while you wait to connect with us.
