Air New Zealand Consults on Christchurch Maintenance Job Cuts Amid Financial Woes
Air New Zealand is consulting with staff over potential changes to maintenance roles in Christchurch.
The airline confirmed that nine light-maintenance staff at its Christchurch division could be made redundant as part of a cost-saving measure.
According to the airline, consultation on the proposed redundancies is underway but no final decision has been announced.
Air New Zealand reported a $59 million loss before tax for the first half of 2026, citing global engine-maintenance delays and a weaker New Zealand dollar as contributing factors.
