Air New Zealand has announced it will slash staff numbers again.
The airline is cutting almost 880 more international crew jobs, and is looking to make several hundred other workers on leave without pay, officially redundant.
It had already cut four thousand jobs in the wake of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Air New Zealand's chief executive, Greg Foran, says the redundancies are necessary because of the uncertain nature of international travel.
