Air New Zealand cancelled at least one flight and made operational adjustments for its services to Nadi, Fiji. This action stems from a fuel shortage at the local airport. The airline transports additional fuel on its aircraft. It also upgraded two services to larger widebody planes to accommodate displaced passengers. Air New Zealand rebooked all affected customers on other flights departing the same day.
The fuel shortage impacts all airlines operating to Nadi. Virgin Australia and Qantas rerouted flights for refueling or cancelled services. An unusable batch of fuel from one of the suppliers to Fiji Airways caused the issue.
