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.

TV NZ reports a further 550 international cabin crew who were on furlough have also now been made redundant.

According to the airline around 4,000 Air New Zealand employees have lost their roles since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic- which includes the 550 international cabin crew on furlough.
