As lockdown drags on, the aviation industry has hit more turbulence.

Jetstar has today announced it is continuing its suspension of domestic travel because the social distancing requirements make it unfeasible to operate.

Air Chathams has joined the chorus, and Air New Zealand says the cost of social distancing will weigh on ticket prices.

Meanwhile, with another travel company closing its doors, thousands of travellers who'd booked trips with STA Travel could find themselves out of pocket.
