Air New Zealand expects minimal to no customer disruption as a result of the EPMU's planned strike action in the lead up to Easter.
"We have completed planning and we expect our significant contingency efforts will mitigate the EPMU's efforts to ruin the travel of holiday makers looking forward to a well earned break over Easter," said Air New Zealand General Manager Tasman Pacific Airline, Glen Sowry.
The EPMU today announced a planned three days of full strike action from 8 April by ZEAL cabin crew on A320 aircraft operating on trans-Tasman and Pacific Island routes.
