Air New Zealand has confirmed a further 935 cabin crew redundancies as Covid-19 travel restrictions continue to hit the industry hard.

The airline explained the redundancies affect international cabin crew after schedule reductions saw a decline in passenger demand on international routes.

Consultations - which began in September - concluded with 385 full-time international cabin crew being made redundant.
