Air New Zealand has drastically cut its services to the Pacific because of restrictions around Covid-19.

From the end of March until the 31st of May the airline will only fly to three countries from Auckland, once a week.

In a statement, Air New Zealand said there will be one return service to Nadi, one return service to Rarotonga, and one return service to Niue.

Routes to Tonga and Samoa have been suspended, along with previous suspensions to Noumea and Tahiti services.

The airline will provide Norfolk Island with two new services a week, one from Brisbane and one from Sydney.
