New Zealand's general election: all you need to know Read moreThree thousand people a day are being affected by cancelled domestic and international flights. As a result of the tightening fuel shortage, all airlines stopping in Auckland are only able to upload 30% of their normal capacity of jet fuel and the government has instructed its employees to cancel all non-essential travel. Export goods are being off-loaded from domestic and international flights unless they are at risk of rotting to lighten the load. Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) China Eastern Airlines flight #MU780 (Auckland-Shanghai) is diverting to Brisbane to get more fuel, becase of fuel shortage in Auckland. Elesha Edmonds (@eleshaedmonds) Hi @Jetstar_NZ, is the fuel leak the reason all flights from Auckland to Christchurch are full until next Monday?
