Nine flights in and out of Wellington have been cancelled and several others delayed as heavy rain and strong winds batter parts of the country.
It comes after Interislander announced it would cancel all ferry sailings between Tuesday night and Thursday morning due to the bad weather.
Wellington Airport said many of the flight disruptions had been caused by rough weather outside the capital, including Nelson.
Passengers were being advised to check their flight status directly with the airline.
Meanwhile, swells of between four and six metres were forecast between Tuesday night and Thursday morning.
All Interislander ferry services were cancelled from 8.30pm on Tuesday until the 8.45am sailing on Thursday.
"Safety of our passengers and crew is our key priority," Interislander said on its website.
"We are not anticipating Kaitaki returning to service before the 8:45 am sailing on Thursday 4 July unless there is a significant improvement in the weather."
All sailings were on Kaitaki, as Aratere was already out of action after grounding shortly after departing Picton last month.
Affected passengers were being contacted directly.
Meanwhile, the Bluebridge ferries were still operating.
The company said it was monitoring the forecast and would tell customers via text and email if sailings were cancelled.
