Air New Zealand has worked closely with Ministry of Health officials in implementing the measures in place today. High, medium or low-risk destinations are set by the Ministry of Health and this risk matrix is reviewed regularly. NZ Air Line Pilots Association president Andrew Ridling said earlier this week that crew are in personal protective equipment throughout their journey. Passengers must wear masks on flights out of Auckland and they are encouraged on other parts of the airline's network.
