A Spark spokeswoman said the outage was "major" and technicians were working to fix the problem. An Air New Zealand spokesperson said the cancelled flights were due to the Spark network outage in Queenstown. In a travel update sent out to some passengers, Air New Zealand said was also experiencing issues with check-in kiosks at Queenstown Airport and check-ins may need to be done manually. Air New Zealand said a large number of passengers have been affected and those calling in can expect increased wait times.
