LSG Sky Chefs operates at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown airports, servicing airlines including Air New Zealand.

The company says given the border closures, keeping the staff on was not commercially viable.

It received more than $9.6 million in wage subsidies from the government.
