Air New Zealand is limiting capacities on international inbound flights to "help ensure the country is able to provide quarantine accommodation for inbound passengers." In its recently issued press release, the airline also announced a temporary hold on new bookings following a request from the New Zealand Government and that affected customers would be contacted. Domestic and outbound flights are not affected by these restrictions.
