Auckland Airport Emergency Services – Planned Industrial Action
We're aware of proposed industrial action involving Auckland Airport's emergency services staff, scheduled to take place over two 24-hour periods:
- Tuesday 24 November, 6:00am to Wednesday 25 November, 5:59am
- Friday 27 November, 6:00am to Saturday 28 November, 5:59am
At this time, Air New Zealand flights are operating as scheduled. We understand how important it is to have confidence in your travel plans, and we're working closely with Auckland Airport and other teams to understand whether the situation could affect travel and to reduce any disruption for our customers.
If the industrial action affects airport operations, some flights may need to be delayed, rescheduled or cancelled. If your flight is affected, we'll contact you as soon as possible with information about any changes and the options available to you.
What you can do
If you're travelling to, from or through Auckland Airport around the proposed dates, we encourage you to:
- Keep your contact details up to date through Manage Booking to ensure you receive important flight updates.
- Monitor your booking through Manage Booking or the Air NZ app for any changes to their travel plans.

You may also wish to review your travel insurance policy to understand what cover may be available if your travel plans are disrupted.
We know it can be unsettling when your travel plans may be affected, and we’re sorry for the uncertainty this may cause. We’re watching the situation carefully and if anything changes that could affect your journey, we’ll be in touch with an update.
