"Air New Zealand followed the Ministry of Health's processes for identifying close and casual contacts, and any employees who fell into this category were advised at the time and tested." Another worker, who also did not want to be named, said they felt that Air New Zealand did not care about the workers' feelings. Since the pandemic began, the company said there had not been a single case of transmission from passenger to crew on any Air New Zealand flight. Air New Zealand said it follows the advice of the Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Health and our own aviation medical team to keep people safe.
