Greg Foran: Air NZ CEO says airline is trying to make arrangements for those who need to travel
The wild weather is over, but the travel chaos could continue well into next week.
More than 180 flights and most Cook Strait ferry sailings were cancelled during yesterday's stormy weather.
Air New Zealand is asking people to delay their flights if possible.
But Chief Executive Greg Foran told Tim Dower the airline is trying to make arrangements for people who need to travel.
“Got 126,000 people to move over the next three days, so not a lot of space on some of the flights.”
State Highway 6 west of Murchison, Ruapehu's Bruce Road and State Highway 35 east of Opotiki all remain closed.
