Auckland Fuel Shortage
Auckland Fuel Shortage
The temporary shut-down of Refining New Zealand’s pipeline into Auckland is currently impacting all airlines operating into and out of Auckland Airport and limiting the volume of jet fuel able to be uplifted.
Air New Zealand is currently working through the implications for its operations over coming days and is putting a range of measures in place. These will include:
- Cancelling some domestic and Tasman services to consolidate passenger loads
- Ensuring domestic jet services uplift maximum fuel limits when operating out of Wellington or Christchurch to reduce fuel requirements ex Auckland.
- Requiring some long-haul services to and from Asia and North America to undertake refueling stops at selected Pacific or Australian airports
