Air New Zealand Faces Travel Alert as Cabin Crew Announces Strike
Air New Zealand faces potential travel disruption as approximately 1,250 cabin crew members plan to strike on December 8, 2025, after negotiations with unions E tū and FAANZ failed to reach agreement on pay and working conditions. The industrial action, scheduled across regional, domestic, and international fleets throughout the day, highlights growing concerns over crew fatigue, workload pressures, and compensation that workers say fails to reflect their safety responsibilities.
