Earlier this month, the carrier said it would reduce its long-haul capacity by 85 per cent over the coming months.

It suspended flights between Auckland and Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Buenos Aires, Vancouver, Tokyo Narita, Seoul Incheon, Honolulu, Denpasar and Taipei from March 30 to June 30.

The airline also suspended its London-Los Angeles service from March 20 (departing from Los Angeles) and March 21 (departing from London Heathrow) through June 30.
