Air New Zealand to carry disrupted Pacific Blue passengers
Air New Zealand will carry thousands of passengers disrupted by Pacific Blue’s withdrawal of domestic services.
“Pacific Blue contacted us this morning to see if we could carry their disrupted passengers,” says Air New Zealand Group General Manager Australasia Bruce Parton.
“We have confirmed that we’re able to re-accommodate their customers and understand Pacific Blue will soon contact passengers to discuss their options.”
Passengers will be able to be rebooked onto Air New Zealand services as close to their currently booked departure time as possible.
“In addition to carrying Pacific Blue passengers, we will be offering each passenger free membership to our Airpoints programme,” says Mr Parton.
“It is a concerning day for thousands of air travellers and we hope that the spirit we have shown will quickly ease any concerns they have about connecting with family, friends or business colleagues.”
