International Services Disrupted Amid Stalled Contract Talks

Air New Zealand has canceled 46 international widebody flights due to a two-day strike by cabin crew over stalled contract negotiations. The strike, which affects approximately 9,500 passengers, is the culmination of nearly 10 months of negotiations over pay and working conditions. According to the airline, domestic and regional services are still operating normally, while schedules have been adjusted to protect most Tasman and Pacific routes. The strike was reported by AeroTime.
