Temporary suspensions: An update on the situation

The airline Air New Zealand announced the temporary suspension of its direct link between Auckland and Nouméa until the end of September. This decision was necessitated by the restrictions imposed by current travel conditions and the continuing impact of the COVID-19.
Reasons for suspension

Impact on passengers
Travellers affected by this suspension will be contacted directly by Air New Zealand. The company is proposing several measures to mitigate the inconvenience, including:
- Free postponement of travel after suspension lifted
- Free rebooking to other destinations
- A full refund for those who choose to cancel their trip
Customer support measures
Air New Zealand assures that it is doing everything possible to assist its customers during this period. A dedicated customer service team is in place to answer questions and help reschedule journeys. Passengers are encouraged to consult the airline's website for the latest information and available options.
Plans for the future
The airline is committed to resuming this route as soon as conditions permit. Air New Zealand is closely monitoring the development of restrictions and recommendations from the health authorities. The resumption of flights will be announced according to the situation and the directives of the governments concerned.
Air New Zealand's suspension of service between Auckland and Nouméa is a reminder of the ongoing disruption in the air transport sector.
