Air New Zealand has put on a hold any new bookings to Australia until the end of August. It follows an announcement of a further pause in inbound bookings for a further two weeks revealed on Monday. The airline today said that owing to Australian Government restrictions it had put a hold on further bookings to Australia until August 28. International passenger arrivals into Melbourne are not currently permitted to August 8. The airline said earlier this week it has again extended the freeze on all new bookings for international flights coming into the country until August 9.
